Put it in the 997 shifter first. I love my b&m. It might be a little notchy feeling until the car becomes hot, so be aware of that.

I've had mine on since I purchased my '01 S with just under 14000 miles..Now I have almost 22k and the shifter has become even more enjoyable.

The miata "click" shift is remarkably quick and short, so be aware this mod will still not produce that short of a shift.

It does however create a "night and day" experience between the standard shifter and makes the car a whole lot more fun to drive....not like it wasn't fun to begin with, but you will know what I mean when you start driving with the b&m...just plain fun...
