Suggestion
I have the Porsche factory OEM SSK and I believe the B&M is pretty much identical to it, so it should perform the exact same...as long as it's adjusted properly.

I was lucky enough to find the Porsche sport shifter (used) for $200 and I love it.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

So...originally, I decide to buy the Schnell short shift kit from Vertex to save cash... Immediatey upon receipt of the SSK I notice there are no spacers between the linkage and the housing. I shrug it off and install it. Works great for a month. Then, all of a sudden I get a ton of slop.
Upon taking it apart, I notice the ball end on the left side is too small for the chamber. Thus produces the side-to-side slop. RRrrrrrrr...
This is what I get for trying to be a cheap bastage.
Contact Eric at Bumperplugs.com (best price on the internet for the B&M SSK). Order it on Monday. Gets here the next day. Nice.
Installation of the B&M takes me about 30 min. Talk about immediate difference. B&M has a fantastically manufactured product. Properly put together and installs perfectly.
So in the end, I paid close to the same money as I could have spent on the Porsche OE SSK. DAMN IT.
Schnell SSK Verdict: Poorly engineered & executed garbage. Stay far away.
B&M verdict - Awesome. Perfectly fits, and works flawlessly.
Lesson learned.

good to know. i have a schnell and HATE the slop. was worried that the B&M was the same. you're the first person i know that's tried both in his car. Norbert - who did you buy the B&M clone from on Ebay?
EDIT: screw that; in the spirit of the title of this post, who's got the right price on the B&M?
Steve, you might be my new best friend.
BTW, I had an OEM SSK put in my car shortly after I bought it - wonderful, direct, rifle-bolt action shifter. Just a great mod.
Nice Chad. Plus Eric is a good guy to support with our business.
If it makes you feel any better I recently got a ticket for illegal u-turn, $157. duh.
Phil, shooting ducks, sleeping on a pond, is easy. Just aim for their wheels.
Agreed - a well installed B&M is a tremendous improvement over the 996 OEM. I was lucky enough to find the Porsche sport shifter (used) for $200 and I love it.
This thread reminds me that I should get off of my lazy rear and put my shfter in my car...I had posession of the shifter prior to taking delivery of the car and it's still not been installed.
