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'm sure this has been covered a thousand times, but if you wanted to get a short shifter for a 2001 996, which of the following would you get (
http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/me...ode=996Trans):
1. B&M short shifter
2. Porsche Factory Short Shift Kit
3. 997 Shift Console Upgrade
Thanks!
I have #1, but don't have anything to compare it to. I don't hear too much about #2, but have heard good things recently about the smoothness of #3. The only knock is the throw travel is longer than a short shifter, but still a little shorter than a stock 996.
maybe i'm throwing disinformation around, but i thought i had heard that B&M SS OEM provider of the Porsche SSK. So, in effect, #1 and #2 are the same.
I, too, have #1 and it is supposed to be identical to #2. I've heard that #3 is smoother than #1/2 and most people switch ffrom #1/2 because it is too stiff. I love the B&M kit, the stock throws were so long and sloppy. It does take a few minutes for the car to warm up and the shifter to loosen.
