my mistake. I did not realize your Box was a S (6 speed).
What I concluded when installing the 997 shifter assembly into my 5 speed was that the 6 speed tranny has one more gate than the 5 speed tranny.
That the plastic alignment piece was tailored more for the 6 speed.
And that's the reason why the shift cable did not go as deep into the blue adjuster as compared to the original 986 shift box.

so is the hose clamp to assist holding the cable tighter in the blue adjuster?

as for"slop"???
thanks
