I installed an '02-04 shift **** and boot that's thinner, and more ergo feeling.

I like the look of that shifter, actually had something similar in my miata (shape wise at least, but not as high quality), but I preferred the taller fatter shape and eventually changed back.

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 am thinking of upgrading my standard shift ****, to the fatter **** with the aluminum inset and logo, and possibly the matching handbrake handle. There are several on eBay, but the part numbers they show are not (or at least I cannot find them) in the PET. Am I missing something??? Could these be older or outdated numbers that have since been changed?
Don - can you post a link to the shifter and e-brake handle that you saw on ebay? I have both the 996 & 997 PET so I may be able to help, but I need more info so I don't give you the wrong part #.
So, the fatter one where the boot looks to be sewn to the **** is actually an upgrade? I installed an '02-04 shift **** and boot that's thinner, and more ergo feeling.
Which one do you have?
Thanks Loren, that's it! I did not know it was a separate catalog
Van and Tim, thanks for the help, it is very much appreciated!
Andy, I have the stock shifter below (savanna beige), and want to change it to the sport shifter shown in black (I want it in savanna beige though). When I was test driving cars, I much preferred the "squattier" ****, and plan to add the B&M short shift kit next year as well.
Best price I found is around $350 new, which is a bit steep for me to spend on this, but they come up on eBay occasionally for a slightly more reasonable $250 or so.
Interesting. I bought the stock shifter thinking I would like the under-stated looks. But it IS thinner. I will be changing back to my sport shifter then! Thanks for posting the pix!
No problem Andy, I always find pix to be more helpful myself.
I really preferred the feel of the sport shifter, the fact that I like the looks a bit better is just a bonus! When you go back to the sport shifter, let me know how you think they compare after driving a while with the stock shift ****. The SSK will be one of my early mods next year (I am currently way over my alotted mod budget for the year!).
Funny, I mainly took off the sport shifter because I thought the fake aluminum trim around the boot was damaged - there was yellow showing through the paint. When I cleaned out my garage this weekend, I saw the old shift ****/boot, so I took it out of the bag. Turns out that yellow on the trim was just grease that came off with some cleaner! Hence the reason I am putting it back on the car ASAP!
I drove the car after swapping to the sport ****, and I can safely say the sport **** wins hands down. Less mushy feeling (due to the allen bolt that secures it to the post), fatter, nicer.
Get one!! And enjoy!
I went with the shifter that Gerd at Carnewal offers for EUR 195. It has the same OEM boot matched with a Techart **** and sits much lower than the OEM shifter.
I totally agree on the sport ****.
I will get one, eventually... To order a new one is at best $360 which is a bit steep, so I am trying to find one on eBay (usually at least $100 bucks cheaper so the difference goes towards the SSK), but they only come around occasionally in savanna beige. There is a great deal on a wood one with matching handbrake right now, but I really want the all leather.
I like the look of that shifter, actually had something similar in my miata (shape wise at least, but not as high quality), but I preferred the taller fatter shape and eventually changed back. My hands tended to feel to "big" for the round shape.
