The green plate is on the 5 speed 986s but not on the 6 speed for some strange reason. B&M says to remove the plate if it is present. If we do not remove the plate then it gets hit by the black cable connector once the B&M is in.

The 986 has 2 part numbers for the shift tower. 1 for the 5 speed and the other for the 6 speed. The only difference is if it comes with the green plate. The plate has the 5 speed part number on it. But if you remove the plate there is the 6 speed part number under it!

Some 996s come with the green plate. I forget which ones, but I think the turbo and GT2. The C2/C4 does not come with the plate. None of the mechanics at my local dealer can figure out the purpose of the plate, or why the 5 speed has it but not the 6 speed.
