I have never been happy with the shifter in my 2001 S, specifically the length and sloppiness of the throws, so I upgraded to the 997 shifter, but I am still not happy. (I've been spoiled by shifting a '99 Miata for ten years, which was shifting heaven.)
If I decide to purchase the B&M ssk, which console should I install it in, the original (with 35K miles on it), or the 997 console (which has less than 5K on it)? I suppose the wear factor is obvious, but does anyone think there were improvements made to parts (other than what I will be replacing) in the 997 console?
I don't care about re-selling the 997 shifter, I am perfectly willing to install the B&M in either console. But which one?
Thanks for your input.
