When I installed the 997 short shifter in my '01 Boxster, I didn't measure the side-to-side difference, just the forward-backward (I measured about 25% front to back reduction). I would expect the side-to-side difference would be about the same, since the pivot point moved to the same point. I don't notice much side-to-side slop.

Just to confuse things, I believe goeff's is the actual 997 short shift kit 997-424-983-00. Which is different from the one that blinkwatt, john v and I have installed 997-424-010-00 . Ours is the standard 997 shifter, which happens to be noticeably shorter than the standard 986 shifter. Geoff's is a shorter throw than the standard 997 but longer than the B&M.
So in order of shift distance, longest to shortest:
Stock 986/996
Stock 987/997
Factory Short Shift Kit 997
Schnell
B&M/factory short shift 996/B&M clone
This is also the order of notchiness, least notchy first. I'm not sure where the swift-shift kit that extends the bottom of the 986/996 shift ball falls. There hasn't been much information shared on it.
