I hope you read the thread that Clubhead posted on ECU mods.

Now to answer your question on shifters:

If you are talking about the knob, I upgraded mine to a 2002's 996 5 speed knob and the interior looks far more like a late model S than a 97 non S with that crappy old shifter knob.

The short-shift kits for sale from B&M and Schnell (see ad above for discounts on this one) are something I am looking into as well, but my transmission is already notchy when cold and a short shifter just makes it harder to shift ... albeit shorter throws between gears. It's a toss up for me and something I probably will do dead last after a new stereo head unit, litronics, side markers, tail lamps, speedster humps, and I'll probably need new tires around that time. But a short shifter is on the list... just at the very end.

Others with newer boxsters and smoother shifters may offer different advice or tell you they absolutely wouldn't drive a boxster without the short shifter kit installed.
