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.

Another item found on Ebay. Is it a quality item? Would you recommend? I like a shifter with some weight to it, is it all aluminum?

Why not go with a B&M or the Porsche factory ones, Even the Schenell would be better than that one.
At least you would know what to expect.
I dont trust those ebay knockoffs.
In old 911s there were no internal gates in the transmission and a high quality, perfectly adjusted gated shifter made a huge difference in feel and security from a misshift.
In the 996, adjusting the shifter only changes the position of the lever. The gates are all internal and the shifter end of the cables are locked in position. You get to choose whether you want shorter throws and the added notchiness that comes with it, but that's about it.
I put in the 997 shifter as the bushings were pretty well worn on my stock one, but beyond that, what's the point (other than wrapping your plastic bushings in anodized aluminum)?
Probably get more shift feel improvement by changing the gear oil.
Ed, do you think the 997 shifter will fit in my Honda? While it may not help with the shifting (since the Honda has an automatic transmission)
the 997 shifter would look better!
