That tells me the issue is likely not related to the cable ends.
Leading evidence: 'likely not related' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'likely not related' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Adjust cables a couple of times' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I�ve got the same issue, 997 shifter, have also adjusted the cables a couple of times to no avail.

I also double checked the adjustment with the factory tool (twice).

It appears to be interference fitted which is popping when shifting into a different gear like 1 to 2.

I have the same problem and have replaced the entire unit as have you.
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 am getting this frustrating click/thunk type of noise in between shifts (1 > 2, 3 > 4, and 5 > 6).
I have already replaced the shifter itself with the stock 997 unit.
I also double checked the adjustment with the factory tool (twice).
I also do not hear the noise outside the car.
Take a look at this video I shot with the console removed and the shifter exposed.
Any ideas?

I am pretty sure those bits of plastic on the carpet are from the previous/stock 996 shifter because there was evidence of rubbing on the one ball/knuckle joint. It is making the noise in the video and I could not see any parts making contact.
I have the same problem and have replaced the entire unit as have you. I think it is the threaded part of the end of the rod/cable that is made of a different material from the cable. It appears to be interference fitted which is popping when shifting into a different gear like 1 to 2. It doesn't happen for me when shifting from 1 to 3 or 5 to 3 for example. I've learnt to live with it. I suspect replacing the cables will fix it.
No those plastic end parts come with the entire shifter unit which I replaced, as did dadasoomcar I assume. The problem I think is with the cable ends.
^^ Duh, you are right; those plastic end parts come with the entire shifter unit which I did replace.
Ouch - I just checked and new cables are around $350. Might was well get the numeric ones for $450 and be done with the problem.

I thought about the shifter but I don't see any way to adjust or tighten it and it is a new OEM Porsche 997 shifter. I might try putting the old 996 shifter back in and see if the problem persists.
I�ve got the same issue, 997 shifter, have also adjusted the cables a couple of times to no avail. However, I had the console off this past week to install a Bluetooth setup, and noticed that the clicking does not occur when the console and boot are off. That tells me the issue is likely not related to the cable ends.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
