Tried a factory Tequipment **** I did in Alcantara after installing new FF cables, but it last the 10 mile test drive before I switched back.
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.

I tried searching around - and I suppose this is highly subjective - but it's worth asking...
What's the best shift **** for the 996? I love the idea of a wooden one, but also the Delrin option from Function First seems super simple and nice. My OEM one just isn't doing it for me, and feels loose on the shifter anyways.
Thanks,
I have just a generic polished heavy round alloy one.
The black forest industries one looks perfect though:

Sadly they closed their doors not that long ago but I've been beyond happy with my Raceseng Circuit shift ****. You can still find them on-line in some places. Derlin with some good weight that works well during hot summer days. Love the aesthetic and how it feels.
To me this OE one is the best. Feels and looks perfect with the rest of the interior, especially with a painted center console. I actually just broke down and bought a new one to celebrate 10 years of ownership because mine has had a couple very minor scratches from previous owners that have always bothered me, and the leather was fairly worn. Money very well spent!
I am searching for one as well. We have to replace the boot as well, do we not? The factory **** has the boot attached? I truly have never even looked in 6 years.
Currently I am looking at MOMO stuff on Pelican. Some decent ones there.
It's cost prohibitive if adding after the fact...but I think the Tequipment shift **** looks the part (especially when paired with Tequipment e-brake) and is far superior in feel and function than the standard shift ****.
+1 for a weighted ball shift ****. Love my Rennline piece!
Tried a factory Tequipment **** I did in Alcantara after installing new FF cables, but it last the 10 mile test drive before I switched back. Didn�t fit my hand right.
I also have
the Rennline ****
. I love the way it looks and the weight of the throw, but it gets both really hot in the sun, and really cold in the winter.
Yeah. Its a personal choice.
Alot of cool shift ***** that are available, but I still have a preference for the 996 ****. No problems with hot and cold weather. Its not too tall nor too short for the 996 and 997 shifter, which means its doesn't throw off the rythym of the shift with our "longer" throw clutch on the track. Its durable as he'll and can be touched up with dye every so often to keep it looking fresh.
But I continue to look for the perfect ****. One of these days, after 23 years of ownership, i'll find it.
Good thread. Thanks.
