Suggestion
i've been reluctant to change also because the stock shifter doesn't seem that bad to me.
Leading evidence: 'Replace also' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace also' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Use "heartbeat" heistation in my opinion negates the need

Using the "heartbeat" heistation in my opinion negates the need for a short shifter, because it's not about speed or distance travelled, it's more about smoothness and precision.

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.

Just saw an ad in the latest Christophorus, Porsche is now offering a Tequipment short shift kit for 986/996.
Anyone have any additional information or details?
Yes it is the same design as the B&M SSK but in black instead of Blue. It will also cost you tripple to have it in black!

I have driven stick shifts all my life, and I'm of the opinion that the SSK does nothing for the 996. I'm taking it out of mine and going back to the original. I'm aware that others rave about it.
I saw those pix in Christophorus and was really surprised by the difference, especially in the 2 right pix, showing 3rd & 4th gear w/ and w/o the short shifter. Sure looks like more than a 35% reduction, doesn't it?
colm
why don't you like your short shifter?
i've been reluctant to change also because the stock shifter doesn't seem that bad to me. perhaps i'm just used to it.. or cheap
When it is an option Porsche claims 35%. The Porsche installation instructions claim 37%. B&M claims 35%. If you go to the link I measured 36.85% on a C4S.
The 2004 Boxster special edition claims 15% so it will be interesting to see what is in that car when I get my hands on one.
There are some gearboxes designed to "snick, snick" when you shift. These tend to be very fast. The Porsche box is not one of them and to me it always feels notchy, you still get the best shifts (and fastest), even with the SSK using what I call "heartbeat" hesitation between the gears.
Using the "heartbeat" heistation in my opinion negates the need for a short shifter, because it's not about speed or distance travelled, it's more about smoothness and precision. At the PDE they don't put in the short shifter, but they do put on the sport exhaust. That might be the one mod to have!
