My $60 tiptronic -> manual conversion :-)
OK,
I actually like my Tiptronic transmission: In stop and go I have a nice automatic and otherwise I can shift by hand.
Same reason why I have PDK in my 997 (by the way my Tiptronic actually shifts nicer than my PDK)
However I do not like the look of the shift cover.
So I bought an old shifter from a forum member and using this the old shifter cover got replaced with a nice leather boot.
I like this look sooooooo much better.
In total it took less than 2h.

- Remove Tiptronic shift ****
- Remove center console
- Pop old shift gate out
- Cut leather boot on shift boot to size
- Pop leather shift cover in (that was the biggest PITA)
- Replace center console
- Replace Tiptronic shift ****
