Wink B & M Shifter
I would like to hear from those members that did the installation of the B & M short throw shifter are all happy and content with the performance difference?
I would like to hear from all that did the installation and you can tell me how satisfied they are or unhappy you are

Our local Porsche group has put in about 30 units, plus some EVO units, and the new Porsche unit, over the years. Made a movie of 4 installs.

Does that count.

I installed a B&M in my '99 about a week ago. It took 90 minutes and was fairly simple. Be sure to mark the cable positions (I used masking tape). I had read that it would make the car feel different which I didn't believe. Believe it! A big improvement.

I installed mine about two months ago. It has to be the best upgrade for the money there is. It rocks!!
