Last night, while waiting for my Immobilzer to return from ECU Specialists and while the drivers seat was out of the car, I installed Ben's Short Shifter Kit. I read all the posts here and it wasn't a very difficult job. I ordered the "make it easy" kit from Uniwerks and Chris was great to work with as he answered many of my questions. I received the shifter already installed in the housing. I removed my center console and old shifter in about 45 minutes thanks to all the posts and videos here (I love this Forum). Once the old shifter was removed, the only prep work I had to do was to remove and reinstall the shifter cable attachment guides. Installing the new unit was a breeze but when I first put the shifter cables back in place, I couldn't get the shifter into reverse. So, I had to adjust the shifter cables in the guides a bit. Works like a champ now. I am wondering if there is a shifter alignment tool for the 986. Here is the link for the 987 alignment tool but I didn't want to order it in case the housing wasn't the same:

I haven't driven the car yet because I am having my Immobilzer fixed at ECU Speciallsts. Once I get it back together I will report back. I do like the feel of it though while sitting in the garage.

Thanks to Chris at Uniwerks for the assist and to all those that have posted on removing the center console and the shifter housing.

On to the next winter project - stupid foam bits are spraying out of the vents.
