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've been looking at installing the 997 GT3 Alcantera shifter **** and boot into my 05 996 C4S. Im seeing all different kinds of posts regarding this. I know the shift boot on the 997 shifter wont fit the 996 console. Does anyone know if someone makes a retrofit kit for the 996? or has anyone in the LA area had a new shifter boot cut to spec for the 996? Any recs? I love the way it looks.

POST 2Original post

No help other than I made the mistake of buying a GT3 boot once and it definitely didn't fit.

POST 3Original post

I wish too that there is a retrofit. Unfortunately there isn't one that I know if either.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Fracture. The custom shift boot is exactly what I need. Now just to find the top of a 997 shift ****! Someone should really make a retrofit kit. I bet a ton would buy.

POST 6Original post

i have the 997 shifter in my 996 but had to get a 996 GT3 boot to fit.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have that exact shift boot. Was it hard to assemble? Did you need to use the locking mechanism from the 997 shifter?
