Nice.
I'm going to check if I can gather some from the french forum to do this as soon as possible

Those who are interested, send me a PM so I can keep track.
Thank you

Fitted mine today took about 1 ½ hours as others I used the B&M instructions here http://www.oz951.com/public/emmypics/shortshiftkit67.pdf
Really pleased with the result and the quality of the shift, thanks for running the project Ben

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement boot that comes with the mounting clip? All of the ones I have seen are just the leather part. I ordered a new boot online and I broke the clip that attaches to the console trying to put them together. I guess just the clip would be acceptable but i'm not crazy about the boot I got so I would probably prefer to get them together.

Edit im a dummy found it. http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/smart/more_info.cgi?pn=996-552-655-01-OEM&catalog_description=&Shift%2520Boot%2520Retaining%2520Frame

$22 seems like a lot for just the clip. Still interested in getting the boot/clip together if possible.

Thanks

What I'd really like to go with this kit is metal gate, something like this

I thought about it already, but the problem is that our shift lever is flat and thick, it won't look as good :/

about 30% shorter.
the same as the other short shifters available for the boxster

In practice, this is really short

I just had Ben's ball bearing short shifter installed. The quality is excellent and I love the new feel. Highly recommended!

Great! Look at the gated shifter on an Audi R8. They are beautiful. I got to work on one a bit a couple of weeks ago and the shifter looks and works great. If you are going to anything as a model, that would be it.
