Okay, anyone who runs into this here is some helpful stuff.

This is a very easy fix, just follow the instructions for the short throw shifter from B&M Racing at http://www.bmracing.com/media/products/pdf/67.pdf

The only tools you need are:
- T-20 Torx Driver
- T-30 Torx Driver
- 10MM Socket Driver (helps to have an extension)
- Flathead screw driver (for prying things)
- Needle nose pliers (optional but helpful)
- Soft hammer

The part you need to replace is called a "Shift Cable Fastener" and is Porsche part number 99642414700, at least for a 2001 Boxster. Cost is $20.00.
