Short Shift Kit

[Bryan topping]

Update....I knew this was a crap shoot & I rolled snake eyes. Spent almost half a day yesterday trying to make this work & figured out the nylon bushings just were machined wrong or something. Every way I tried the thing would go about half way assembled & not budge anymore & I could not move the stick side to side. Oh well, gonna order a Schnelll shifter tonight & use the Ebay one as a key chain

997 complete shifter assembly is the way to go ! 200 from suncoast

Actually that is the way I think I'm going with this now since I've done a bit more research.

Pretty much what I went thru. Went back to original shifter.

Schnell makes a great product, but I recently received one that turned out to be assembled backwards at the factory. The bend in the shift lever was backwards. I contacted EagleDay (where i bought it) and sent pics of it installed in my car; they contacted Schnell on my behalf. A new properly assembled shifter arrived 2 days later, with a billet cable end thrown in free of charge for my trouble. Schnell is a good company that stood behind it's product.

Out of curiosity, who did you buy your ebay shifter from? I tried to buy one twice from
"turboracerx"; the first time it was mislisted as she had none available, the second time I got a message from eBay during checkout stating that the item was no longer available. TRX then contacted me requesting payment. I explained to her what happened, but she was rather indignant about the whole thing. She canceled the auction after sticking me with a "unpaid transaction"... I'd never attempt to do business with her again. All previous attempts to deal with her turned into a $hit show...

Mine was from a different seller, but who is to know?
Decided it wasn't worth d**cking with & I ordered a 997 upgrade.

you should also replace your motor mount when you install your new shifter.

I changed the motor mount about 6 or 8 months ago.

I will also be upgrading to the 997 shifter. I didnt realize Suncoast has them for $200. Thats a great price. Do you guys have any thoughts on the 997 short shift kit. I hear it provides a 25% shorter throw and is less notchy than the 9x6 short shift kit.
