GBox 2nd gear detent install question

For the rest of the test drive I made sure to keep pressure on the lever while I was in second gear. Through the shifter it did feel like second gear had an initial position that “tricked” you into believing second was firmly engaged when in fact it wasn’t. I passed on that car. For the 986 I did purchase, I installed the detent as PM.

CMS shift arrester will improve shifting further into all gears!

If you are talking about the Gbox detent, not even close. Take a look at the Gbox website, or here on the Pelican site there is a good write up. No need to drain, though that is a good “while you are there” project. Also no need to drop the muffler.

If you follow the thread below, I'm pretty sure he's talking about the cms shift arrestor. Not the detent.

Can anyone tell me where this detent is on my 2001 6 speed? I have decided to install the Gbox detent. I know it is on the tail, but which side do I access it from? Do I need to remove the bottom plate (or anything else) to get to it? I can't tell from Fred's pictures he kindly attached to this thread. All the other procedures on line seem to be for the 996. My arms are just about healed from my clutch bleed, so I guess I am about ready.
Thanks,
Bill

This is interesting. Never seen this product before. Not being familiar with the gearbox how and how long would it take to fit?

Is this the Detent listed under the 996 section on GBOX? On their website I don't see anything under the Boxster section. I'm new to Boxster ownership and don't know what's compatible with what.
