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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Bought a 996 Turbo in October 2013. Guards Red, manual 2002 with factory Aero kit, Black sports seats, red centre console, seat backs & dials. Milltek exhausts/cats. GT3 wheels, 65K. Looks like original clutch, slight judder but no slip. Effortless performance after a 993 C2S, which I owned for 2.5 years. Everything seems to work OK, usual front end 'wander' now better after 4 wheel alignment. Gearchange seems a very long 'throw' any views on fitting a short shift kit - benefits or drawbacks? Pleased to be on the 996 Forum - Hello to you all!

POST 2Original post

Well done & enjoy , not much better performance wise for the price of a 911tt , I've just fitted a quick shift to mine , fantastic , go on eBay £59.99 .... Exact Same one in porscheshop £350 or thereabouts . Crazy Enjoy the car

POST 3Original post

I also have the short shift kit on my 2004 model. Feels much better and no issues at all.

POST 4Original post

Im currently on car part buying hold until the mrs finishes maternity leave in september, but one of the upgrades i want is the gt3 short shift kit. Apparently its a very precise action vs standard and is a ~20% shorter throw i think.

POST 5Original post

Let us know how that feels if you get it Chris. If you read my letter in this month's 911 & Porsche World, you'll know I'm all about the manual gear shift experience!

POST 6Original post

I'm sorry and may be being a bit thick but is samba man saying that a 996 t hasn't got a lot more performance than a 993 c2?

POST 7Original post

No, he is saying that you can't get much more performance for the money than a 996T. [ ]

POST 8Original post

Thanks Richard for clarifying that , the TT are serious performance for the money , I love mine

POST 9Original post

Which is the best kit to install on a Turbo that is only used for road driving ie not track ? I have heard people recommend both the standard 997 shifter (which apparently feels nicer than the 996 and is a little shorter) or the 997 short shift kit

POST 10Original post

The best accessory is a spare underwear dispenser for the passenger.
