There is a guy that took the 987/997 OEM short shifter (997-424-983-00) and put it on his 986 without any problems. That is by the far the best way to go since it's all OEM and you can totally bring it back to stock if you like. I don't think the throws are are short as B&M, but close. ~30% vs ~20%
I've also heard about what Blink is talking about. People are taking the stock 987/997 stock shifter (997-424-010-00) and putting it on their 986. While the throws aren't much shorter, supposedly you can tell a difference and the shifting feel is better than the stock 986. This has been confirmed by numerous folks.
Now the question is - do you spend ~$200 on the stock 987/997 shifter housing and get a better feel with a slightly smaller throw, or spend ~$450 to get a better feel with a much shorter throw ...
I don't know the answer yet - I haven't purchased either! (yet)
