are these the same items - both drop in/swaps for a 986 shifter? OR does the 987/997 "short shift kit" require that I first get the 987 shift assembly, and then the "short shift kit" modifies it?

i just want something that drops in to replace what I have on my 986 and make shifting shorter and better feeling. i don't want it super notchy like the B&M. I drove an older 996 that had a B&M short shift kit and I did not care for it. i like the feel of my 986 shifter okay, i'd like it a bit tighter..but the throw is just too long.

can I get either the 987 shifter assempbly OR the 987 short shifter assembly and iethe rone will drop right in???

looks like people hwere have bought both, and like both... but i haven't seen anyone do a direct comparison of the two on a 986 boxster...
All the kits that Porsche supplies include the base and new cable links. The aftermarket parts require that you reuse the base that you already have.
