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.

Had a few hours this weekend to work on my list of car mods, so I tackled the short shift install. I've got to say, the instruction manual from B&M was great. They detailed everything from start to finish. Took about 1 1/2 hours to complete the install. Most of the time was spent taking apart the plastic pieces - hearing the "pop" of the plastic connectors is a little scary at first. Fortunately, no damaged or broken pieces. I really like the crisp feel of the shifting. Looking forward to trying it on the track.
Because everything went so smoothly & I still had some time left I also completed:
- BK fire extinguisher seat bracket install
- Replaced the headlight wash nozzle
- Hard wired my V1 radar detector
It's not very difficult & like I said the directions are great. Just make sure you note what screw goes where. I taped them to the pages/steps as they were removed. Makes the re-install quicker & easier.
I tried a friend's '07 Mustang Cobra w/ newly installed short shifter. The shift throw was so short I couldn't tell what gear I was in! Hope the 996 version isn't as close!?
Let me know how it is Marc (if you ever get around to it)!
Did mine a month ago and love it. Mine took about 2 1/2 hours but I went slowly, not wanting to screw anything up. I can recommend this swap, along with the muffler mod, highly, and one of the best inexpensive things I have done to the car.
Awesome thanks! Just gotta make sure the broke part on mine isn't needed with the new one. I have some white plastic pieces down in the shifter that are broken off from somewhere.
Then you got a bad shifter my friend (or possible not stock). The stock GT3 is buttery smooth and the perfect throw. The guy I bought my GT3 from had the SSK in the car and it sucked bad! Way too short and IMHO dangerous on the track. I took it out and gave it to another Rennlister and put in a new stock assembly. It was about $150-200 if I remember correctly. Very easy install as well.
Now the non-GT 996 cars are great with the SSK as the throw is just too long and sloppy. I have it in my CAB and love it.
I put a B&M SSK in my '03 996C2. Pretty easy install. At first I liked the shorter throws and more solid feeling, but thought the feel of the action was just so-so. Now, after about 3k miles, feel has improved and I like it a whole lot.
Man, just one more reason to quit screwing around, get rich and buy the GT3
As many of you know I am working on my second fortune (I gave up on the first one) ahahha
seems a bunch of people have installed the 997 short shift kit in 996 and are very happy, apparently its a lot smoother than the b&m, personally i like the b&m, someone described it as being like a bolt action rifle, money well spent
I wish I can transplant the shifter on my Accord to my 996! The Honda 5-speed is the smoothest shifter in the world! Too bad it's linked to an enemic engine and suspension.
