Does anybody use a CAE shifter on their 996 Street car / Track car / Daily driver?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Does anybody use a CAE shifter on their 996 Street car / Track car / Daily driver?
What is reliability with daily use?
On the fence on the numeric.
I just want a shifter that is not sloppy, if possibly, at all
Thanks for any input

I got a set of the Numeric shift cables about a month ago when they were on sale. I also, just ordered one of theirs shifters (re-furbished with full warranty) that was on sale. I'll be out of town 'til the end of the month so I won't get to install them until then. I currently have a B&M short shifter that works very well, so I'm interested to see the difference with the Numeric set up. I'll post on it when I install...** while the CAE looks like it works well, it's a little too funky for a street car (for my tastes... I want it to look stock - or at least classy, not "racer boi")...
If you haven't already, check out Function First's "Shift Right Solution" (

) -- definitely takes the slop out.
You could also try the poor man's version:

I installed a numeric shifter with new oem cable ends in my c2. Hands down one of the best mods yet. I will say if you put it on the shortest throw and keep the stock length shifter, it can be a bit notchy to get into gear especially when cold. I upgraded to a taller shift *** and it was a world of difference. No excess slop and very precise shifts.
People keep recommending Ben�s shifter, but when I was looking recently, he wasn�t making them anymore. Has that changed?
I went with the Numeric. It is a work of art, such a waste to bury it under the console and boot...
That's why I am trying to get the information ahead of time, more precise less effort, bad shoulder.
I have already spent money on 997ssk, and will be removing that.
Or maybe modify with bushings.
The numeric is very precise: smooth, precise, deliberate and mechanical. I�ve heard people describe it as being like the bolt on a bolt action rifle. That�s a pretty good description. It has several different positions that can adjust the throw, I have mine in the middle setting. Oh and I�m still using stock shift cables.
I think the cables make a big difference as well. I was actually going to install them on my B&M SSK (on 997 base - which is really good BTW) but a great deal on the Numeric shifter came up so I may as well go all the way!
If you can't get Ben to modify your shifter to improved bushings, consider swapping your 997SSK to a GT3 shift

before that, I'd try a weighted shifter with your SSK, low risk
good return
I have both (GT3 and weighted shift) and it's just about perfect for the street
no affiliation, bit I'd try this
https://rennlist.com/forums/parts-ma...hift-****.html
skeptical at first, but it definitely improves the experience
you can upgrade cables too, somewhere in the future for me
From my research the numeric has 3 settings so you can change it anyway.
I was looking at one awhile back but the USD priced me out at the time. I bought a standard 997 shifter instead. So far so good and 10 fold improvement over the 996.
interesting. mine came with a short shifter of some sort, but it's pretty notchy. makes me fear a money shift. in fact, I've already almost done one 2x in about 1k miles. I suffered a money shift in my saab viggen and had to lie my *** off to get it covered under warranty, luckily they did.
The SHIFT-RIGHT retrofit works great in concert with the 997 SSK. If you like your current shifter throw, there�s no reason to upgrade anything but the pivot points within the shifter.
The Retrofit Kit is comprised of custom machined aluminum pieces, heavy-duty ball bearings, and hardware to entirely upgrade the factory shifter assembly. Additionally, the tightly toleranced shifter yoke is hard anodized for maximum wear protection and Teflon impregnated to further reduce friction. The OEM cradle and shift lever are retained with this setup so that your shifter throw remains unchanged and the factory fit is preserved.

Thank you for the information.
But when you start with $450 for my 997ssk, then add $300 for your improvements, I would then have a $750 plastic shifter.
That leaves a pit in my stomach, $750 for a plastic modified unit
