I recently traded my beloved '01 986S for a lightly used '07 987S with 47k miles. I had forgotten just how long the shift throw was in OEM trim!
First mod will be to install a short shift kit. Back in the olden (golden?) days of the 986, the options were slim and the decision was easy. It was pretty much B&M or live with the Mac truck throw!
Today however, there are a whole bunch of options, which begs the question. Which one? I loved the B&M in my 986 and that is probably my current front runner. However, I have no experience of the other offerings nowadays.
The extra effort while cold is a bit of a non problem here in CA, especially with a garaged vehicle.
So, quick poll. What SSK do you have and would you do it again, stick with stock or go for something different?
In no particular order:
SSK, Throw Reduction, Bushing Material, Approx Price
Porsche 987 SSK, 35%, Plastic, $430
B&M SSK, 35%, Fixed-Aluminium, $300
Evo Billet SSK, 35%, Adjustable-Aluminium/Delrin, $260
Schnell SSK, 30%, Adjustable-Aluminium/???, $180
Ralco RZ SSK, 40%(!), Fixed-Aluminium, $95
Agency Power SSK, 35%, Aluminium, $250
