Embarking on a little project with my C2. I'll be removing the center console so fit isn't my concern.

I know both of these are highly rated.

Couple questions:
--for anyone who's driven both, which do you prefer?
--does the CAE come with all the needed rods and shift linkages?
--can the CAE use any of the rothsport linkages or does it need them?

CAE every time mate. There kit is outstanding and it comes with everything unless you go Sequential there is not a substitute!!

No experience of the CAE shifter.

I had Rothsport with Fister Goldenrod & forward rod, OEM RS trans mounts, Wevo's & Gamroth RSR custom reinforcement.

Phenomenal.

(My 964 now in the caring hands of Mooty).

Yes I have driven that car and it is what I'm modeling after sort of an rs light tribute. It's setup so nice.

Damn you and mooty. A couple months ago I get to his house he throws me keys and we go hit the canyons, a month later 964 in my garage, and now checks are being written for its transformation.

I decided on the full gamroth kit, wevo engine, rennline trans. I played a bit with a cae uni, super nice, maybe if I go full race strip I get that.

What is this rsr custom thing you mention? Engine cross bar bracing?

geordie

Gamroth does his own bespoke engine carrier reinforcement in-house, which is stout & lighter than the Rennline offering.

Thank you. Will call Monday. We are ordering most of his 964 parts aside from the engine build bits (for now!)

this is why i dont let ppl drive my cars.
they all end up blaming me for opening their wallets....

HiWind

996 GT3 forum has 3-4 CAE users ... FFaust etc... they've all loved it but it is 2x the Roth price I think

low miles

I drove jeffs 964 and I was sold, very crisp shifting. I have a appointment to have my 993 get a new shifter and golden rod after thanksgiving.

Does anybody know any kits that fit the 964 c4?

DobermanDad

FD Motorsports has one:

That's for a 993. Any for a 964?

DobermanDad

Fit's both. I don't know why they don't have 964s listed.

I emailed them before I bought mine. Mark confirmed it fits a 964.

Gamroth's shifter plus the golden rod is a stellar combination. But in my opinion the CAE is really the next level. If stock to Rothsport+GR is a 100% improvement, I'd say the Rothsport+GR to the CAE is another 50% on top of that.

mooty

fits 964, it's in my 964

it's really personal feel on the shfiter. i have both. CAE is more rifle bolt, but it's too short. you can't shift it as fast (for me at least). i also have CAE in GT3. i removed it as i actually like the sloppy oem better.

thats not to say CAE is bad, the machining is incredible and the feel is there. just a matter of if you like that feel.
