Gramps Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Hi All. So, how can I tell if I already have a short shifter fitted? The gear change seems ok at the mo but if it can be improved with a short shifter then why not?? Only way I can think of, other than taking it apart and looking, is by the fore-aft travel. Measured from the centre line on the gear knob my current travel is about 10.5cm between fore and aft. How does that compare to those that have one fitted? Or does anyone know an easy way of checking? Its a 987.2 Boxster S by the way. Cheers...Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Look for XCZ on your build list. XCZ = Short shifter according to the 987.2 V pages in the parts catalogue. Standard shift assembly part number 997 424 010 00, short shift 997 424 983 00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must try and find if I got a build list with the paperwork when I bought it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps Posted July 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Hi all. I unclipped the leather boot and it seems I have the standard shifter. Does anyone out there have a short shifter fitted? If so how much difference does it make to the travel fore-aft? As I mentioned before my travel is about 10.5cm measuring at the centre line of the gear layout on top of the knob. It would be interesting to know how much difference it makes. TIA..Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 I know there are one or two here with SS on a 987.1, but it’s rare as it didn’t really need it like the 986 did. Not sure if the same mech works on the 987.2 gearbox linkage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huytonman Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 I had one fitted to my 987 cayman years ago, it was certainly shorter but not really an improvement, just different. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
