Here is a pic of the 997 shifter in my Boxster; its not a true "short shifter" but it has about 25% less travel than the 986 shifter. I have also replaced the cables, this made a HUGE difference. The shifting is now like a precision instrument and I have no problem popping off very quick shifts during a race.

The carbon fiber shift knob also adds 15hp.
