Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone know if this shifter off a 2011 911 will fit a 1999 996 C2? Or would I be better off buying a short shifter kit? This is what the ad says about it. "Stock shifter from a 2011 Porsche 911. Fits other models. Standard throw, 15% shorter than stock 996 shifter with smoother action. Great condition with minimal wear or play." http://www.kijiji.ca/v-transmission-...ter/1224166492 Thanks

POST 2Original post

Yes, 997 shifters will work on the 996. It's a nice upgrade.

POST 3Original post

Bens shifter kit is about the same price, brand new http://986forum.com/forums/diy-proje...t-shifter.html I did mine and it is a night and day difference

+1, love my 997 shifter. Short throws and good feedback.

POST 5Original post

Just got my 997 shifter from Function First. I just assumed it would be American made but it's stamped "Made in Germany".

I did Ben's shifter also. I had another short shifter, but Ben's is much more crisp and direct. Absolutely no play.

POST 7Original post

Is the metal bushing shifter fluid or notchy? OP that's a really good deal btw.

Ben's shifter feels like a gated shifter, without any play. It has a direct connection feel that follows the shift pattern accurately. It is smooth and crisp, but not balky. Ben has described it as "rifle bolt action feel". As I mentioned, it was a dramatic improvement in the reduction of play, and direct feel over the other short shifter I had.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

How can I contact Ben. He is not accepting PMs? D

Cool, thanks for the breakdown. The 997 plastic bushings might just be the sweet spot for me. For now....

Along with a Fister exhaust, this is the essential upgrade for this car.

POST 16Original post

Before you upgrade your shifter I would suggest replacing your motor mounts. That can make a big difference in shift feel and ease. Then upgrade.
