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

I am very interested inchanging to a short shift. Dealer want way too much. Can order the kit from Brandywine, but need a decent mechanic for install. Any LI folks have a good Porsche Mechanic?

POST 2Original post

How about trying to install it yourself, it is very easy. Here is a walkthrough i did with pictures: http://www.turbo911.com/showthread.php?p=1426#post1426 If you need a B&M shifter (virtually identical to the one porsche uses), just give me a shout.

POST 3Original post

TKX performance, ask for Taso [phone removed]. They do all my big stuff, but honestly, a ssk is a peice of cake diy job, takes an hr max. Where are you, maybe I'll help you bang it out one day?

POST 4Original post

Don't pay some one to install it! It is an easy DIY. Prior to installing mine, I had NEVER done anything like that on any of my other cars. There is a wealth of knowledge here that you can tap into if you need help. PorscheDoc's link and write up with pics is a excellent. However, you don't need to remove the lower center console (where the CD holder is located) as shown in pics #3, #12, & #13. If nothing else, take C4S Surgeon up on his offer to help you. It is a great mod and I know that you will like it even more knowing that you did it yourself (or with a little help)!

POST 5Original post

Get the porsche OEM for sure for warranty issues and do it yourself....

POST 6Original post

Yea the CD holder does not have to come out, but it is a little easier to see what you are doing if you pull it. Once you have done one and see how the center console slides back in, then there is no need to pull it.

POST 7Original post

Heck, I'd do it for a pint of Guinness if I was local to you.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Chris, Thanks for the offer. Called TKX, they seem pretty reasonable. Might just let them install. If not; I'll give you a call!

POST 9Original post

Do you mind telling how much they want for the labor? I am in the same boat.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

$90/hour...One hour install.

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

SSK In! Awesome, definitely worth the investment. TKX installed while I waited(I am about 45 min away). Can't wait for more drive time...

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Unfortunately, I have not mastered the pix download for this forum. Also, the shifter is unchanged, its just the throw.

POST 16Original post

Here is a pic of my install BEFORE the center console and shifter boot went back on. Took me about 1 hr to install this B&M SSK.

POST 17Original post

TKX is the bomb! Both Taso and Rich are true professionals! I had my SSK and other mods done by them 2 weeks ago. Great service! I'm going back for more....ahhahahahahah Good luck!

POST 18Original post

I need some advice on which short shifter is better....The B&M or the OEM? I don't track and prefer a smooth shift as opposed to a clunky (or positive feel) shift. Is one better than the other or is it a preference of OEM vs. aftermarket? Thanks
