Hi I am just about to do this job in my '94 964 LHD Euro Speedster except I am also installing the RS fork to match gear lever. Do I still need to cut the recess for the new oval guide or does my car already have this?
I havent seen any other instal guides anywhere but any links would be appreciated
regards

I am pretty sure MY 92 and on has the oval holes from the factory, so you are half way there already, all you have to do is take the guides out and turn them around, hole on top. The kit I installed also included the RS fork.
Good luck.
PS. looking at those pictures, I am sure glad I replaced that steering wheel.

HI, i completed this job at the weekend and it has tightend the shifter movement considerably but hasnt really shortened throw. It is much taller that std shifter but then I got to thinking why do we need to highten the guide tube to the new position? On compairing the std and rs shifter the pivot points are different, hence reason for new fork, so if we lift the guide tube this will effect the throw/pivot point and we lose the advantage......does this make sense?
I am tempted to return the guide tube to where it was before?

I do like the fact that the shift **** is now closer to the steering wheel.

OK, why is this not a problem in the RS as my old RS and my friends LHD RS shift is lower in car but has a shorter throw....are there other RS differences?
I measured both std and rs lever side by side before instal and only the pivot point was different in RS lever......pin for fork was further up than std and fork was was taller with holes to match the RS pin this moving the pivot point.
I am going to try the guide tube is the std position to see difference and will update at weekend
Does this make sense?

The parts used are as mentioned before, the OEM RS short shift kit. I purchased it from Sunset Porsche (no affiliation), here are the part #'s and prices in US $.
1: 964-424-015-08 Gear Shift $ 52.53
4: 999-924-002-40 Plastic Sleeve $ 4.60
1: 964-424-017-01 Shift Fork $ 27.20
2: 964-424-028-00 Shift Tube Bushing $ 12.90
2: 99-1758-424-M230 Shift Coupler Bushing $ 7.85
There is a 993 RS Shift Rod with a newer style shift coupler, but the price is prohibitive, $ 300 plus, I dont' see any advantage to this item just a different U-joint.
Will post more pictures when done.

Question...Super old thread, I know, but I was wondering:
1. For what purpose would I need the two "Shift Coupler Bushings" (Part 99-1758-424-M230)?
This is what Pelican has for that item:
I took everything apart already, and I can understand where each of the parts you listed would go, except for those two little black bushing things—not sure where they go?
