Once the vice grips were on, I used a couple of wrenches underneath to grab ahold of and provide the leverage to pull the whole thing up and off the shaft.

I ended up using vice grips to wrap around the base of it (not ON the base, but just below) for more area to grab ahold of before pulling it up.

In order to change the handbrake you need to remove the center console.

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.

Looks great.
I recently installed the Carbon shifter, and wow - that thing is very high quality and is nicer than I was expecting. Next on the list has to be the e-brake for sure.
I got them from Suncoast Porsche $395 for each piece (just over $800 total) The hand brake is the whole assembly however. I would have paid more. I hated the wood.
Way nicer! However, I assume someone with a beige interior would like the wood accented shifter and e-brake handle. Wood just doesn't work with red exterior, or black interiors.
I saw one that looks the same on ebay for $99...not sure if that was the opening price with a higher reserve though.
PS--John - you have one clean interior! Your carpet looks brand new!
John - now you need some aluminum pedals (there is a Group Buy going on in the 993 Forum) and some Aluminum Gauge Rings. They will help break up the black a little and compliment the other Aluminum Look pieces in the car.
Yes the shift **** can be replaced in 5 min. jut pop up the base trim and remove the old one with an allen wrench. Then put the new one on the same way. In order to change the handbrake you need to remove the center console. still not that hard.
When I took my old shift **** off, it didn't have an allen screw which held it in place, like the new one that I replaced it with. It just pops off, but requires quite a bit of effort to remove. Not that it was actually difficult, but it is kind of ackward.
I ended up using vice grips to wrap around the base of it (not ON the base, but just below) for more area to grab ahold of before pulling it up. Once the vice grips were on, I used a couple of wrenches underneath to grab ahold of and provide the leverage to pull the whole thing up and off the shaft.
Someone asked about a cheaper version of this shift ****, and I don't think there is a good alternative. This **** is very, very nice and high quality - from the leather stitching to the **** itself, and I would be careful wasting money on a **** that is cheaper.
Thanks. Was actually thinking about the Porsche piece that Carnewal sells. It's a stubbier design, and would replace the more slender oe one that came on my '00. The latter, from what I understand, doesn't have the allen screw. But it is expensive, no doubt about it...
I hear you. I never understood the whole wood thing for anything but the pre-74 911s, and even then it isn't my favorite. IMO, your car looks much better now.
