The 997 shifter reduces the throw (both front-to-back, and left-to-right throw) compared to the 996 shifter.

These aluminum bushings reduce the slop in the bushings of either the 996 or 997 shifter, which predominantly have some deflection in the left-to-right direction, especially when under force.

Even with these bushings installed, there will be other sources of slop in the shift console assembly, that could still be addressed/improved, if you're looking to eliminate all the slop.
