3. Remove the stock shifter linkage.
1. Remove the 13mm bolt that attaches the shifter assembly to the shifter shaft that goes toward the front of the car, it’s hidden under a rubber cover. (See fig. A)
2. Remove the 10mm bolt that holds the shifter assembly to the selector shaft that goes into the transmission. (See fig. B)
3. Remove the 13mm nut at the top of the shifter linkage that connects to the cross support. You may need to counter hold the bolt on the back side with a 17mm wrench to keep it from spinning. (See fig. C & D)

4. Install 944Racing short shift assembly re-using the existing factory bolts. Use a small amount of Red Loctite on the 10mm bolt that connects the short shifter assembly to the selector input shaft going into the transmission. Make sure the 10mm fastener is properly engaged into the dimple on the selector input shaft. (See fig. B) Also use either red Loctite or safety wire to secure the 13mm bolt attaching the shifter assembly to the shifter shaft that goes to the front of the car (See fig. A). Before tightening the 13mm nut on the top of the 944Racing short shift kit make sure that the shifter in the car is centered properly (side to side). The top of the short shift kit has an elongated hole to allow for alignment of the shifter in the car (See fig. C).

I have one from the last GB and it does make a dramatic difference, I highly reccommned it. My only issue with it is that it needs some type of corrosion resistant coating. If you have any play in the shift lever pin, the SSK will make it VERY obvious.
Installation tip: Secure your shift lever in the 12 o'clock position, it minimizes the adjusting guess work.
