Short shift kit in an S
I drove an S last week that had a short shift kit installed. Have to admit, it was sweet. Anyone else have this mod and what is your experience? Cost? Downsides?

Thanks! Approx cost of unit?
|
$200 (via ebay). Good luck.
|
$200, best bang for the buck! If you're driving a Porsche of any kind without one you are wasting your time! I mean that!!!
|
That is very affordable. Good move on your part.

There's actually 2 versions of B&M's SSK for the Boxster. One is the "in car" version that most people have. It's basically a new shifter with a straight 30% reduction (although it feels like 70% :)). The other (and less popular one) goes on the tranny where the cables attach (and is adjustable from 10-30% reduction, I believe). |
I would get the in car shifter. This is the samwe unit B&M makes for Porsche as well. It is one of the best mods out there! I paid $200 from Bandywine.
|
Yup, B&M is same as the Porsche one, just different color.
|
Does it matter if you have a 5 speed or a 6 speed? What I mean is, does B&M make two separate shifters? Or can you use the same one for either application...?
|
Same shifter for both trans. I just installed mine this weekend and it is great. More notchier but in a good way. 2000 S
|
How hard was the install? Is it something that a Porsche rookie could do with basic tools and instructions??
|
The instructions are great. It will take you about two hours. Be sure to mark the threads on the cables. :)
