I'm hoping to be able to use the plastic pieces on another car project, but would prefer to not buy the parts if they are not the right size.

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

Hopefully someone has easy access to a manual shifter for a 996/997/boxster/cayman. I'd need to know the diameters of the metal balls that connect to the shifter cables (in the center console, not at the transmission). I expect them to be approximately 10 mm to 15 mm in diameter. These have detachable plastic connectors which connect to the shifter cables. I'm hoping to be able to use the plastic pieces on another car project, but would prefer to not buy the parts if they are not the right size.

POST 2Original post

Only one connector piece is attached to the ball coming from the shifter itself. The other one is attached to the lever with some sort of plastic rivet. The ball from the shifter is 10 mm.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
