Short throw shift..
Just bought my 1st Porsche! 2004 Boxster S blk/blk.. A dream come true at 51 yrs old..But while looking I drove a Boxster S 550 SE with short throw shift..amazing!..Anyone done the retrofit on their own?..I have Wayne's book, "101 Boxter projects"..It seems like it might be a long project with a lot of of crazy tolerance stuff that I might curse on my next S turn..Thanks..Looking forward to my new life..

Lots of info on it on this board and quite a few options. Search for it and you'll be busy for hours.

You need this upgrade for 15% reduction.

For 35% reduction you'll have to pony up more for this instead.

I bought one of the 997 shifters referred to above. I did the install in about 1.5 hours. I also installed the GT3 console delete kit.

There are pictures on the Pelican Board that show step by step how to do the install. No crazy measurements. Just mark the shift cables and put them in the same position when you replace the shifter "cassette" as referred to by Porsche.

It takes longer to remove the console that it does to change out the shifter assembly.

I installed the 997 short shifter. It's pricey, but I love it. Not a difficult job at all.
