Just to avoid confusion, I'll state again, there is a stock 9x7 shifter and a 9x7 short shifter, two different assemblies.

The 9x7 comes stock with only a slightly shorter shifter than the stock 9x6. It's about half way between the B&M and the stock 9x6. If you put a B&M in the 9x7, you will definitely get shorter shifts.

The EVO extension probably works with the 9x7 too, but you'd have to ask them, I don't know how long it is. By lengthening the lever arm at the bottom of the shifter, it shortens throws.
Right....So is a B&M in a 9x7 is essentialy the same as a B&M in a 986 assembly?

Worthwile options seem to be:

B&M / knockoff in stock 986 housing $50 - $200 (short but notchy)
987 assembly $160 (Smooth & slightly shorter than stock, easy to install)
987 SS assembly $??? (can't find prices)
987 assembly w/ Evo extension $360 (short & smooth)
