Short Shift Kit Install...Surprise?
Well, I finally set aside some time today to install the B&M SSK and EVO Linkage. I get everything opened up to find what, but another short shifter already there. Anyone recognize this?
Since I was in there, and this kit used plastic fittings and stock linkage, I decided to go ahead and change it anyway. The new stuff is dialed in but I am disappointed that after all that work, I did not get to enjoy a shorter throw.
Oh well, off to the next project, maybe suspension.

If it helps, the old shifter had "12/03 0005" etched in it. Did Porsche use short shifters in 2004. I have my original window striker and it does not have a factory code for a short throw, assuming it was a separate option.
Thanks again!

The standard shifter has really long throws. There is a recent thread with pics of the 996, 997, 997 ssk and b&m. Take a Look about 30 posts down for a visual reference.

Thanks Jyoteen. So, if this supplier made the OEM shifters, is it possible that I pulled out a standard shifter? Did that supplier make the "non-s throw"? How do I determine a stock, standard shifter from a short throw?

Note below, the picture from the 997 forum from someone building the engine w/ the triangle P logo and the porsche part number as confirmation.

The SSK was a factory option - my 04 C4S has it from the factory build. I had the dealer install an OEM SSK in my 04 C2 with in a couple of weeks of picking it up, couldn't believe the throw and the slop in the standard shifter.
