Mark-Near_Chicago, It's great to hear that you've gotten your shifting mechanism smooth. I am very interested in making my car's shift smooth. have replaced the original with a shorter throw 997 shifter assy.
Here's a photo of 997 shifter in my 01 5 speed. Can you elaborate using this photo? I think many members would appreciate it (I would like to get my car's shift smoother). it shifts a little notchy, but the throw is much reduced.
did you use the centering plastic piece to hold the shift lever at "neutral" position when the cables were reinstalled?
thanks in advance
