Professorz, I'm pretty sure that the clunk you are experiencing is improper adjustment. Or there is a clutch issue? I had to readjust mine as it would not go into 2nd on a downshift. You have to remove the cable-end from the transmission end on the left side; this will require a new plastic doodad to be slipped over the ball end so make sure you have one. The kit comes with 5. Release the lock-nut with a 10mm wrench then adjust the end of the cable so it is just longer than the throw of the lever. Test it in forward and to the rear. It should be just longer forward and back.
Once you are happy, press the cable end over the ball until it clicks on, then tighten the locknut.
If your shift lever is not in the correct position, remove the shift boot and use 2 - 10mm open end wrenches to adjust the position. Left side is left-right, right side is forward and back. Tighten the locknuts when you are happy with the shift lever position and refit the shift boot.
My independent Porsche shop told me very low probability of cables breaking and not to waste $ on new cables. However, I’m thinking if Porsche updated them it was for a reason.
Im replacing them. Better safe than sorry. I’m getting the GT3 box.

I went with a Carnewal exhaust to and K&N filter.
Prefer to stay OEM with the Spyder.
Love this little car. Wife named her Charlotte. 😎
How much are the gt3 box and updated cables from Porsche?

If you also want to improve the shifting/LSD, change to the Delvac Suncoast sells at the same time.
Don't know the mileage on your car but if it's getting past 50K would also do the cable ends in the Suncoast link.
Some experience mass airflow sensor foul ups due to the pre-oiling. Same goes with the BMC filter. I've used multiple aftermarket oiled filters in my cars with no prob thus far. They're safe in the sense that they won't cause engine failures. Jake R doesn't like them so when his new engine is installed into my chassis, I'll revert back to OEM which by all indications, flow just as well as any $100 aftermarket filter which produces 0 HP gain.

Test drive it!
I initially thought so as well. And perhaps! But our highly skilled Porsche Indy shop with lotsa years of Porsche expertise has been over it extensively and opines “all operating normally”. I truly wish I’d paid attention more closely prior to install of the Numeric but alas, didn’t. The transmission IS one that’s been funky. Shifting into 1st instead of 1st and vice versa at odd times and once shifting into essentially nothing until I put it in 3rd and then back. So ... hard to say. It’s Rosie’s way of having an endearing quirk, like most Alfas. Maybe she’s not pure blooded German. ;-)

And MY Indy Porsche shop said failure of the cables was a foregone conclusion, that they replace them on a regular basis due to breakage.
