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 understand there's no difference either between the OEM and B&M, but I'm since I'm neurotic that way, I went with the OEM SSK.
I want to change my shifter to the short shift. I only hear good things about the factory Porsche short shift kit. Does anyone know the Part Number for a 2002 C2 996 short shift kit. Or does anyone have any insight?
not too sure on that....but I think the B&M unit is the same thing....Eric at bumperplugs has the best price for them. I have mine still in the box...my weekend project. Sorry I don't know the part number, but wanted to give you the option.
Best,

You should drive a car with one, if there's any way you can manage it. It's not everybody's cup of tea. The effort is a lot higher, 1st can be reluctant when it's cold, and it doesn't really look any different (if that's your thing). With mine, I found my shifts were actually slower for awhile, until it wore in a bit and I got used to it. Now, I love it and it's completely natural. But, as I say, not everybody's cup of tea.
Actually, the B&M is Blue, and the Porsche is black
And the Porsche version will lighten your bank balance more
Other than that...
THEY ARE THE SAME DAMN THING!
I believed the OEM996 SSK is made by B&M and OEM997 SSK is made by porsche. And OEM 997 SSK will fit 996. My friend mod his MY01 996 C2 with 997 SSK. It fits perfectly, you dont even have to adjust the cables. He ordered the 997 SSK from Sunset Porsche in Portland for around $430. It is a complete unit, very easy to install. If you are interested, call Jeff at Sunset. He should be able to help you.
Good Luck!
After a long debate with a buddy of mine I gave in and bought the Porsche OEM SSK. I am wondering how long of labor do you guys think it would take a shop to install that and a cf ebrake?
Have the OEM in mine and love it! Great mod. I understand there's no difference either between the OEM and B&M, but I'm since I'm neurotic that way, I went with the OEM SSK.
About 1.5 hours for teh SSK and another 20 to 30 minutes for teh Ebrake.
Why not do it yourself! Can you turn a screwdriver? Can you use a socket wrench? If so, you CAN do this! The B&M site has great instructions, and there are a lot of guys here that can give you some tips to make the install easier.
My OEM came installed in the housing so it was quicker to install. It is black instead of blue, but looks exactly like the B&M.
Got mine from a dealer for the same price as the B&M.
The shifting can be a bit notchy, but overall is much better than stock.
With the ssk, how is the neutral to reverse feel? I find the stock setup is WAY to easy to shift into reverse from neutral. I have to be really gentle when at a light, or I wind up in reverse, looking like a moron!
Factory shift kit is a much easier install. No removal of the shift handle from the plastic housing because the kit IS the entire housing with a short shift already installed. You should have no problem installing.
btw, the shift kit installed into the Porsche housing may be B&M but the kits are ANYthing but the same! All kits OTHER than the Porsche kit will require an irreversible modification to your shifter housing. Once you chisel the bushings out, you cannot go back to stock shift throw and feel without buying another assembly.
