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

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

The 993 and 993 Turbo used a bar that ran from the gear shifter all the way down to the gear box for gear selection. The 996, and the 996 Turbo use a less expensive "cable style" method of changing the gears. I understand that the GT3 used the same gearbox as the GT2. Is this the bar style or cable style. Can anyone answer this? The bar style is much more precise, and practically bullet proof.

POST 2Original post

All versions of the 996 GT3 are cable shifted.

POST 3Original post

This is a GT3. Jeff <img src="http://www.986host.com/albums/ToolPants/rennwerks16a.jpg" alt=" - " />

POST 4Original post

I thought the GT2 used a different mechanism. Many car mags commented on its better engagement over the TT (and suggested all 996s should adopt its set-up), based on its linikage. I assumed the GT3 would be similar...

POST 5Original post

I always thought the GT2 had some type of short throw shifter, am I wrong? Tool Pants is that Gt3 shifter a Porsche Motorsports part? I notice it has some pretty beefy bearings and cables.

POST 6Original post

It is - even has their part number on the white sticker you see in the picture. Looked like a standard shift tower to me except the plastic bushings/bearings that we remove on a shift install were made out of metal. Several of these at RennWerks near where I live.
