I posted a thread about this a couple days ago. Autothority makes what you are looking for, it cost about $160.00 (i believe this includes shipping). I ordered one sunday night, but got an email on monday saying they are out of stock. I emailed asking for an ETA on them, but havent gotten a response yet. You can also check out the one made by Welmeister, im pretty sure its the exact same setup, but is over $200 last i checked.

Speed-6 sells what i believe is the 944Racing kit (they are a vendor i think) on eBay, though they are exepnsive at $120 plus about $13 shipping. You can buy right off there webpage for i think $140 + $13 for shipping. 944Racing sold these for less than $110 when they were still on eBay. These are not adjustable from what i read, for the extra $5-10 you can go for the Autothority (when they get them in stock of course) and have the option of adjusting the throw distance both front and back, and left to right. I was about to just buy the Speed-6 kit because i was too impatient to wait for when ever the Autothority kit becomes available again, but for the difference of $7 id rather wait for the Autothority and the option of adjustments.

Just a little heads up, I won a Speed-6 short shift linkage off ebay over 2 weeks ago and have gotten emails saying that they are having alot of troubles with their supplier and may have to refund my order if it takes too long....

Techno Duck-
You might want to stop waiting. The autothority one will take over 6 months I was told. i wanted to order one, waited 3 weeks with no answer and then I was told they are on indefinite backorder.

Damn, i guess that means the only option really is either in hopes the 944Racing one comes around again, or go with the $200 Weltmeister kit.

9fifty1, by any chance did you try and order it 5 months ago ? Just kidding, seriously though when did you try to order it? Knowing me ill wait a few days, then break down and go with the Weltmeister kit from Paragon. Its only about $40 more considering.

AFAIK, APE will not be producing the 944 SSK any longer. The Weltmeister unit is functionally the same, and just under $200.
