Numeric Shifter & Cables Installed in my Boxster

[Tucker2]

No....stock both go on top of everything as you see. And I can't imagine they could be reversed. I heard of some of the AM shift cables being off on the length. I'm thinking that is your issue. I'd contact the manufacturer of the cables/shifter.

Yes am aware that the stocks go above....they are numeric cables

So this is not an installation error? There is no way to adjust this tight fit??

Edit the one cable is completely taught....can't be right

The numeric instruction pictures show an x pattern...

From your PDF:

"After connecting to the brackets you must properly adjust the rod ends before connecting to the posts
or it will not engage into gear properly. To do so for the R2 end, push the transmission gear selector all
the way back to the reverse position. It will require more force than normal to engage into reverse so
be certain it’s extended all the way."

My guess is this wasn't done during installation.

And yes....installation notes say they should cross and obviously they don't. I could make derogatory remarks about your installer....but I will refrain. Probably a good idea to go to someone else. Someone that reads directions.

So I can realize good shift quality with proper cable lengths? Right... about now I have a lot of doubt

Yes. I did a ton of research before laying out that kind of money. Like me, others are very happy with the results. Once you figure out if it is a cable length issue or an installation issue you'll be good to go.

What shift console are you using with the cables?

I am using a 997 SSK console ...thanks for the information
