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

Anyone know if you can just get this piece? This is where the reverse gear cable connects.

POST 2Original post

That would be a tricky repair and being a fairly critical part i'd just replace it with a 997 version unless maybe the FunctionFirst rebuild kit has a part to replace it.

POST 3Original post

I'd look for a good used 997 shifter on eBay. I found a GT3 shifter that was real cheap on eBay. It was from a burned GT3 with low miles. One of the best mods I've done to my 996! I OWN A GT3! ...in a hushed voice, "shifter and brake ducts."

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I found a 997 shifter and installed it. I was just hoping to be able to repair this one for a spare. I put a short shifter in it and I was hoping this little plastic piece wouldn't make it just junk... Not sure if the 997 shifter is truly any better. Maybe smoother but I I found the short shifter I installed a bit too notchy for a daily driver. Maybe because I couldn't align it perfectly like the 997 shifters with the shift alignment tool.

POST 5Original post

I would just put it away and maybe in 20 years it will be worth fixing it.
