$229.95
If your shifter feels sloppy on your Boxster or Carrera (986 or 996), there is an upgrade available with factory parts. We consider this a conservative and comfortable short shift kit.
A conservative upgrade which will still be comfortable for a daily driver. This reduces shift throw by 15% over the stock version, while still delivering comfortable and smooth shifting. This is a direct fit with no modifications, comes with a centering tool (shown in green) to make installation perfect and centered.
Fits the following models:
If you're looking for something more aggressive, see the related items below.

Upgraded to GT3 shifter and no regrets

I decided to upgrade to the 997 GT3 shifter and I am totally happy with it. Much more precise shifting and very little play. I made a video to show what a difference it makes:

This is a must upgrade for anybody driving a manual 996

Should be the first thing done to any 996.
Super easy to install -- way smoother and more precise than original shifter (which felt long, sloppy and fragile)

Install went very smooth. Very nice upgrade for 996, mine is a 2003 C4S with 50k miles. Smoother shift and slightly shorter throw. Wish I'd done this year's ago!

997 Shift Console Upgrade

1999 Base Boxster. I was a little hesitant when I ordered this - was going to go for the B&M short shift. No regrets anymore! Wow, what a change from my original shifter. Installation took two hours start to finish and that's with cleaning up what was under the console and tightening up my parking brake cable. Shifting is crisp, clean, and precise, what a difference from the old shifter. Be sure to mark the cable position with a Sharpie before you take them out of the original cable ends. Otherwise very straight forward installation. Highly recommended. Thanks Suncoast!

Shifter upgrade from 996

Fantastic. Used this as a replacement for the shifter on my 996 C4S. 55K on the car and the shifting is much more precise. Wasn't awful to start, but made it much more concrete. Highly recommended upgrade. Pretty easy to install, too. Use the B+M short shifter installation instructions.

Easy installation, substantial improvement in feel, distance and feedback. Nothing iffy about being in gear. Much less play in the knob when in gear.

The throw from 1st to 2nd is definitely shorter. This shifter isn't quite as smooth as the 10 year old one it replaced on my 2000 C4C, but I like the shorter and surer feel when shifting. It has character now as opposed to being all over the place. It was a 3 hour install so with the total cost factored in, I think it's a good upgrade.
