Prerry much thinking to go short shifter. As my90 c2 owner i have to grind the tunnel round bushing holes to the oval new style.
Rothsport has a template for the tunnel mod but quite expensive (~50 usd for the template), is there any template/measurement available somewhere else at reasonable cost?
I did that on my 964 a while back when I changed the shifter and you don't need an template. Here are some pictures I took of the process.
1. What you start with once the rod and old bushing is removed.
2. Use some calipers and a sharpie to do your measuring. I forget what the exact center hole distance is, but I know it's on the forum somewhere or you can easily calculate it. Once you have your center marked I used a spring-loaded center punch to put a nice indentation on the mark. Then used a small sized drill bit to make the first hole that will center and guide your hole cutting drill bit.
3. After using the hole cutting drill bit.
4. Used a dremel to smooth out the sides and remove any burrs. Then use some touch up/protective paint on the newly exposed metal.
5. Install new bushing with OEM rod in the upper position. Done.
