Hi,

Reviews are mixed. Any Short Shifter works by sacrificing Mechanical Advantage for Throw Distance. It does nothing to make the car faster, nor will it make you a better driver.

Many have complained of unacceptable increase in notchiness, and at least 1 member here reverted back to the original shifter. Personally, I think the money is better spent on Maintenance items or other upgrades. If mine were a Manual Tranny, (and I have driven both the 5 and 6 Spds), I wouldn't do this Mod.

The kit may shorten the throw, but realize, the OEM throw isn't really very long to begin with, especially as compared to many past Sports Cars, or even some others produced today. FYI - B&M makes the Optional Short Shifter for Porsche...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
