Hi all,

I need a new shifter. Any suggestions for a good quality short shift kit? Thanks in advance!

Check out FD Motorsports and their Golden Rod and short shift kit. There are several threads on this set up for both 964 and 993.

Have you guys seen this? Its considerably cheaper than others I've seen, but golden rule "you get what you pay for". Has anyone ever heard of these?

The factory RS short shift kit is the way to go, I bought mine from Sunset Porsche for less than $100.00, no affiliation..........
Rothsport also sells a short shift kit that is highly rated, but a bit more money.

i got the one from Lufteknic...superb....OEM parts....Robert, the owner, has sourced original parts...hard to find...great mod...love the feel...1 inch higher...1 inch shorter in shift length, alittle closer to driver/wheel...

Hey Phil, do remember what additional parts you replaced "while you were in there"? Mine shifts fairly well right now but I'd like to get it like new. Thoughts?

If anyone has part numbers and solid sources I'd appreciate it.

Travis...my paperwork just shows a lufteknic part number...964.993 rs short shift kit and a shifter Circlip, 911 turbo (1976-88)' N-012-439-2...

RSA is at lufteknic now getting my enhancements...can ask about it next week, or just give them a call...nice folks...Phil

Will the factory rs short shift kit require modifications to the tunnel area on a 91 C2?

crg53

My car is Dec. 14th 1990 which is a 1991 model, and I did have to modify the holes from round to oval. As far as I know MY 1992 and on, have the oval shift bushings installed already, so all you need to do is turn them around.
If you need to modify to oval holes HERE is a link to my DIY.

Currently only available for 996 + 997 but there might be a version for the 964 in late 2012!

APC shifter is fab....I bet it is very quick.....but @ 1300 €...
Love to see the 64 version...


Wonder if any one had the C4 from type 911, being lower at the bottom would worry me, could be chopped off going on a bump or curb (and live the car in gear....)
