986 to 987/997 Shifter Conversion

After hearing loads of good things about updating to a later model shifter on the 986, I decided to give it a try. I'm currently in process of finding a nice low mileage one a eBay.

I've got a 5 speed myself and I know the 6 speed works fine from multiple forum posts. I'd guess that a shifter off a 5 speed 987 would also work for my applications but haven't found any information verifying this (maybe I'm just searching for the wrong thing, I don't know).

The vendor on eBay wasn't sure either and my local mechanic said probably but he's not sure as he's never heard of someone doing that specific conversion.

Anyone have the expertise to know if this will work or someone else that's found out through trial and error. I may purchase one for science and let everyone know if there's not a resident expert that knows!

Thanks Much All!
