One thing I did notice...my driveway has a small incline when backing out into the street. When in gear reversing my car would make a significant noise, sounded like it was coming from the transmission. Sounded like a buzzing noise. After installing the new shifter the sound in gone. I didn't think too much of it before since it's a 98 and cars do creak over time. |
Thank you for the feedback :) I'm glad you like it!
I will pickup the shifters at 4PM today ;) Ben. |
Ben,
I installed your shifter today and took my car for a ride. It feels great! |
Thanks for the feedback JRide :) Glad you like it!
I brought the parts to the machine shop this afternoon, when I get them back I'll send you a PM! Thanks guys! BTW, I drove the boxster on track for the first time today... now I need a thousands upgrades! Ahah. Ben |

Can't wait, Ben! And I have a brand new OEM shift and boot to top it off. Old one was looking pretty worn. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Ball bearing short shifter !
Hey guys, if someone wants to post a DIY or video of your install of Ben's shifter, I would offer many thanks.
I know there are some out there, but for the less DIY inclined it would help. I'd be especially nervous after I cut the plastic bushings off the original as then there's no going back. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
Hi!
The PelicanParts DIY is quite good, you should be able to do it. Porsche Boxster Short Shift Kit (SSK) Installation and Shift Bushing Replacement - 986 / 987 (1997-08) - Pelican Parts Technical Article Here are some quick tips: Quote:
Also, don't tighten the big set screws hard, just by hand until there is no play, then lock them with the nut :) Ben |
Got mine yesterday, thanks. Now to find a few hours to try and do the install. Oh, BTW - was there supposed to be a tube of the lithium grease included?
|
It's already greased :)
The bearings don't need anything, they are sealed. The only thing you can grease is the ball end to connect the cable. But I bet there is already some grease there. |
OK, thanks for the quick reply, Ben.
|
Hey Ben mine arrived today. It looks great. I'll be installing it into an extra shifter base I had laying around. Thanks :cheers:
