I just got a new one and it came with both of those cable end parts. I haven't gotten around to putting it in, and I am curious as the condition of those sockets as I have a fair amount of "slop" for want of a better word in my shifting. From looking at the steps on this thread it does not look too tough.
If I have the green tool that locks things the shifter into the neutral position does that mean I don't have to mark my cable ends with a sharpie to make sure I get them back into the same place?
IIRC when I did it I marked the ends, but it was pointless, as the green tool locks the shifter in the right place to allow correct installation of the cables.

OK....question for those who have actually done this mod.....
Is there a huge difference? My '02 Boxster shifting is extremely stiff compared to my '08 Cayman (ie: Rifle Bolt). I assumed that was all in the tranny vs the actual shifter. If I could swap the shifter out and get the Cayman feel in the Box...man that would be GREAT.
Feedback?

The 997 shift console will be a nice change. However, if you want the rifle bolt feel look at the Numeric shift console and cup cables. I had a 997 console then changed to the Numeric set up. I am not sure if just the Numeric colsole without the cables would do it. Very nice.... & pricey! IMHO, well worth it.

A nearly-new one from a 987.2 is on the way...so I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the info.
Good deal. I am betting it will be part number 997.424.010.00. I don't believe that the standard shifter was changed from 997.1 to 997.2 with the exception of the GT3.
