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.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone have any experience with a short shifter kit? I am thinking about getting one, but hate to purchase, "sight-unseen;" or in this case, not knowing what the results are as it would be difficult to "testdrive" without purchasing/installing.

POST 2Original post

I have helped put a few in. Evo and B&M. Gave up posting pictures here. Then I get to drive the cars. I do not have one as it does nothing for me with my driving style. B&M is our local group choice. Some say this is the way the car should have been made. You need to find another owner with a shift kit and try it out to see if you like it. But then you need to drive for some time so that you get use to the change. Jeff

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Jeff. You mentioned having trouble posting pics. have you tried using the http:// button above? Also, why don't you register and join in. A lot of good info and great people. Ed

POST 4Original post

Just browse to a pic on your local hard drive, that should work. No need to have it hosted externally. That should work if things are working correctly here. Jorge, care to provide some insight? EDIT: Yep, works for me. This is Kylie Minogue, what a voice! Pretty hot babe from Down Under with some great music.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I had forgotten Kylie can sing. I have noticed she has posed with a few cars -- mainly fords..... back to short shifters!

POST 6Original post

I have installed it on my 98 Boxster, I like it alot more then i did the stock and would never go back. i guess it's more of a preference to how you like your car. if you race it and drive it hard then i would highly recommend it. but if you just putt around driving daisy, then leave it be. i have also installed a b&b tri flow muffler on my porsche but didn't really feel any kind of difference (besides the noise). i found it hard to hold conversations so i switch back to the stock. i've noticed it to be alittle harder to engage into gears (barely minimum) but i think it gives it a more precise feel to shifts. but my opinion is i would highly recommend it.
