Just installed the standard 997 shift console in my 986 5-speed. Took my time and was done in about an hour. I set the shift cables using the supplied alignment tool in place. After getting everything together I noticed that the shift knob is offset to the right by about 1/2" relative to the original which is definitely noticeable. It is perfectly straight up in neutral, just offset some. No issues with performance, all gears are accessible with absolutely no interference and it really feels much better than the original. I will drive it for a while and possibly adjust it to a bit to the left if the geometry allows at some point in the future. Thought I would record this on the board for anyone thinking of doing this swap.
