Heck, even Gert has them cheaper than that with the crappy euro x-change rate.

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.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can someone tell me if this item on eBay is a "genuine" Porsche part and how difficult it is to install? Thanks! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=8045773982

POST 2Original post

It appears to be the porsche shifter. Installation is a breeze, unsnap your old shifter boot out of the center console, and simply pull off your old shifter (and I do mean pull, sometimes they are a little stuck, but there is nothing holding them on). Slide the new one on....and this one uses a 5mm allen to tighten it down on the shifter lever. Pop your boot into place in the center console and you are done. Should take all of a couple of minutes to swap over...well maybe not that long

POST 3Original post

To be honest with you, I dont think I have ever seen a non OEM shifter for our 996. To add one more thing PorscheDoc said....Watch your face when you pull the old on off. There have been more then a few people that have punched themselvs..

POST 4Original post

Check this one out, It may or or may not be what your looking for , but its worth a look http://cgi.ebay.ca/Porsche-99-04-911...QQcmdZViewItem

POST 5Original post

lol, i think i am one of them Hmm....now that i think of it....it is all starting to make sense now....

POST 6Original post

Holy crap! $409 for that shifter. I bought mine new from a dealer for less than that. Heck, even Gert has them cheaper than that with the crappy euro x-change rate.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can I ask how much you paid? I found that Suncoast (Sarasota, FL) sells it for $349.

POST 8Original post

Have you tried Sunset (in Oregon)? They are VERY competitive as well. As for how much I paid I think it was around $325 but I would have to dig up my receipt.
