Thanks to Jackal on here, I've ditched the B&M short shifter my 6.1 GT3 came with this morning and fitted the 997 unit.

I've seen a few used ones pop up but they go for almost as much a new one.

Will look into the Manthey item Slippy, at the minute I'm just happy to have something that doesn't shift like a hire car without using the clutch anymore !

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.

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

  • PistonHeads: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks to Jackal on here, I've ditched the B&M short shifter my 6.1 GT3 came with this morning and fitted the 997 unit. Difference is unbelievable, I can finally rev match again and shift gears with one hand ! Why anybody would fit the B&M to a GT3 and think it's an improvement is beyond me.

POST 3Original post

Good to hear Mike. It's near the top of my to do list. My car has a Schell item fitted. Crap when cold, ok when hot but I know it could be so much better. I take it yours is the 997 GT3 shifter with the metal bushings? About £300 from OPC. I've seen a few used ones pop up but they go for almost as much a new one. I'll get one eventually. To be honest apart from the shifter my box is mint, no crunches, whines or anything. Which is nice to know given the criticism the mk1 box internals sometimes get. Brass syncros aren't meant to last long but like I say no issues at all with mine on 62k miles.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Mines nearly at 67K now Mark, no issues either. This is a standard 7.1 Shifter rather than the 7.2 with metal bushings.

POST 6Original post

I have the 997.2 with metal bushings in my 997.1 C2S and love it.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does it feel any different Gibbo ?
