Can one returns to OEM after installing a short shifter?

Ok guys, you worrying me! I am fine with my current shifter but just wondered about all that excitement with short shifters, so got myself one. I don’t track my 986 1999. I just drive it normal, cruising along. Will I regret installing my short shifter? And more importantly, will my wife? She’s game, but still if I can’t easy go back to OEM, not cool.

Thanks

Just buy a used shifter from Woody. That way you can use the cradle from that one to put the short shifter in. If you don't like it, you can put your old one back in. I have a short shifter from Ben006. I would never go back to the stock one.

Kind of depends. If your overall system is trashed a short shifter will only exacerbate problems. Things like motor mount, possible trans mounts, cables, overall condition of your trans will all play out and be very telling with a short shifter. All things being equal, it is simply a matter of preference. Now, going big and swapping in a sequential gearbox... now we are talking.
