Only way to find out is to buy a Spyder shifter!

Maybe the next "must-have-mod"?

I'm pretty sure its a 9X7 something, GT3, GT2. 997 short shift. Porsche makes all that stuff interchangeable in model runs and sometimes retrofittable like 9X7 shifters into 9X6 cars.

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say. Do they have aluminum bushings throughout the shift linkage and mechanisms or just in the interior mounted shift mechanism? The stock interior unit in my 987 S had hard poly bushings and were replaced with hard poly bushings inside adjustable aluminum housings with the Schnell unit.
The Schnell unit has a definite feel to it, in that there is a distinct shift from current gear into nuetral before the distinct shift to the next gear. The Spyder unit, while about the same throw length (and one would expect effort input level) had no "clunkyness" to it. It was smooth as silk.

I guess I never think about people with nothing else to do. Now I kinda picture some muscle-less nerd sitting in Mommy's basement in his jammies!

I think it's kinda funny. A bunch of words strung together that almost makes sense but not quite.

Like those engrish assembly instructions you get with stuff made in Asia.
