Anyone know how these work?

They must be stock pictures. Neither of the units in the pictures would be compatible with a Boxster or 996.

If you have to ask how it works, I would stay away from it.

Why cheap out? Get a 9x7 shifter assembly, much easier to install and worth every penny.

I'm actually considering the 9x7 short shifter like "geoff" did, as I tried one of the regular 987 shifters in a new Boxster and it didn't do much for me...

How much different are the 9x7 and 9x6 short shift assemblies? Can I put a 9x7 assembly in my ’03?
One of the first upgrades I did was installed a B&M type short shift kit. Love it. I drove a Cayman the other day with a stock shifter and I was surprised how much longer the throw was.

Aren't you curious?
