Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

wantes to replace the shift **** with a 997 as the leather at the top of the **** was really worn. Not that hard. Pry off cap with flat head screw driver It's a press fit Old **** Slide off the leather Twist off 997 locking cap from under leather Cut original leather if it's in good condition on the bottom Attach 997 locking Fold over Installed

Nice work.

POST 3Original post

Good work. I tried taking that plastic part with the shift pattern off one, was too hard and I gave up.

POST 4Original post

Looks good, I have never seen one on a 996 before, very nice... Cheers,

yeah it feels like your going to snap it or bend the screw driver. Start at the bottom center and pry a little off slowly with pressure. Then insert on the bottom side after the first bottom tab to pry more. Then switch to th top center and pry more. It then comes straight off. This is a great process to just change the leather boot only. Once you have it apart you could take it to any shop and ask them to sew you a new one.

POST 6Original post

Thanks for this. That gear shift is a pretty pricey bit. I'm guessing this probably opens it up to a lot of aftermarket options.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

If your patient and watch the classified your bound to find a good one for a decent price. I got mine here and thank the rennlist community. Just remember to pay it forward

POST 8Original post

Nice, I like the more rounder ***** Vs the trigger style on my 2000 996. Looks great
