looks really good !
the only problem is that the shifter shaft on the boxster's shifter is really thick, and most of it, is flat. So, I don't know how it will look yet, but I will try my best to make it look good

I hope
But first I have to finish my two projects (shifters and intake plenum), I don't want to have too much things going on at the same time !
Cardiffgiant, you can do like I did, remove the leather cover on the shift knob and make your own instead

I'm installing the 997 shifter soon. I'm really torn on what to do about a shift knob. My current one is looking a little worn. I definitely don't want to spend $300 on a boot and knob. I like those rennline ones, but I'd prefer for it to be labeled for a 6 speed. (don't want my wife or storage guy getting confused, lol)

Hi !
well, I was a little optimistic ...
Everything is at the machine shop, but I had a problem with some parts, which means that now I have twice the parts to modify to accomodate de ball bearings ... but don't worry, it won't change anything for you

Hi !
I just got the parts back from the machine shop !
They are perfectly machined !
I'm sorry for the longer wait than expected, but I had some problem with them... I had to machine twice as much parts to fit the BB this time !
that's the other part that I had to modify

Was it a drag or the bearings didn't fit at all in the buckets ?
Everyone that was in the first round of shifters, if the bearings don't seem to fit, don't force them inside ! Tell me, I'll fix it (I think I know why but I'm waiting to get Dwight's shifter back).
Those in thz second round, don't worry, they fit (when you'll open the package you'll see them already assembled )
Ben.
