Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

My friend used 997 SSK on his 01 996 C2 and it will fit 996 C4S, since the shifters are the same for C2 and C4S.

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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

guys Has anyone put the stock 997 shift kit in 996. I was told this is between short shift kit ans stock 966 shift kit???? thanks

POST 2Original post

Just get the B&M unit from our SITE , at $199 it's the best bang for the buck. You won't be disappointed.

POST 3Original post

I don't know if anyone has done it. I do know that the B&M part is the same for the 996 and for the 997, which makes me think the 997 part will fit in the 996. It is indeed shorter than the 996 shifter and longer than the B&M.

POST 4Original post

That's a cool site for someone new to these cars, thanks!

POST 5Original post

My friend used 997 SSK on his 01 996 C2 and it will fit 996 C4S, since the shifters are the same for C2 and C4S. However, it is a bit more money that B&M. We bought it from Sunset Porsche for $430.

POST 6Original post

I do not know anyone who put the stock 997 shift in a 996. I do not know why someone would do this. The factory 997 short shift will fit a 996. It will also fit a 986 Boxster. A local 2001 986 owner did this last year. The 997 shift is not as short as a B&M and that is why the 986 owner chose the 997 short shift instead of the B&M.

POST 7Original post

The factory 997 unit is not notchy like the B&M, yet it shortens the throw...I have heard of some with Boxsters doing it...they liked the results. The key is to get a good deal on it.
