Wtb 9x7 shifter

Educate my on how a short shifter can hurt the tranny. The bottom lever is longer which means the handle does not have to move as far. Is it not going into gear properly?

A highly respected Porsche mechanic warned me that it was too short, that you need to be 'gentle' with the shifting. After reducing the 'shortness' of the ebay shifter, I would say it's not noticeably longer in throw, but it is smoother. Purely subjective, but it feels better.

I shift like a geezer anyway! Im not crazy about the feel of mine. I found a deal on a 987 shifter today. I may put the upgraded bushings on it for tightness. I will update you on the outcome.
