JCR GT4 RS PDK gear lever kit - Page 2 - Boxster/Cayman - PistonHeads UK

https://jcr-developments.com/products/alcantara-sh... Anyone done this? Seems like a nice modification (at a price!) not a fan of the standard PDK lever.

Crikey. Thats expensive give you can get a 4RS one from an OPC for £550ish. Admittedly only with blie or silver stitching.

'From' £954 for a gear knob

Ludicrous pricing, Only time I have ever looked at a product from JCR was then I bought some BBS FI-R’s for my GT3….they were £2k (which was about 35% at the time) more expensive than Rimstyle…who are the UK importer. Total piss take….

I loved my GT4 RS PDK gear knob on my 718 GTS PDK. Probably one of the best mods I've ever made but it is pricey. I was originally going to put it on my new 911 T before I realised it's an entirely different style on a 992. Now looking for a new home!

Sent you an email via your profile, very interested if you’re looking to sell

Upgraded to the RS PDK shift lever, definitely a big improvement over the old thing in looks and action.

Anyone made it worth with with a 991.1?

Does the 992 one fit very easily or did you need to do a lot of adapting?

Does the 992 one fit very easily or did you need to do a lot of adapting? i had to buy a beaten up 987 shifter from ebay and transfer the plastic frame over to the new shifter to make it fit. hadn't intended to do that but i ordered the 992 pdk shifter by accident and they're special order so couldn't return it. necessity is the mother of invention and all that, and i think the parallel stitching actually looks pretty cool. the spyder rs press car has a shifter with red stitching so if i was doing it again, i'd give my OPC parts department the reg no for that vehicle and ask them to order one the same one as in that car.

Got it. Thanks. Impressively inventive!

Thanks again

Thanks again Grey is a stock colour for the 718 shifter - the swap would be a lot easier if this is the right shade? https://www.design911.co.uk/p/pdk-sport-knob-and-b... Edit - just realised you said grey and not silver. Maybe worth an email to design 911 anyway in case the colour was available on the 991 (which would make it a straight swap). Getting someone to re-stitch the boot would also be a potentially easier option than swapping the 992 to a 718, but it can be done if you want. Not trying to discourage you but taking a 550 quid shifter apart and trying to stick it to a new frame is a bit daunting. Edited by jeebsy on Monday 29th April 13:07

Yep - am already in an email conversation with Design 911 on exactly that ie grey vs silver. They're getting the grey items in tomorrow so will be able to tell how similar they are in reality then by comparing to a mat with silver stitch

I’m selling the one I had fitted comes with switch panel required also (car sold now), if anyone’s interested (red stitching)

Afraid not. Am doing other stuff first. Also would like to check that there won't be any warranty issues if I do it. Can't see why but would rather ask first. Am in the OPC tomorrow so planning on asking
