Unfortunately, he doesn't make parts to sell. Only for himself. While he is bagging out the only vendor bringing a one piece, extended shift paddle for Porsche owners. I'll like to see him bring his to market for the same price. I admire his engineering talent, but I am disappointed by his uncontrolled critique.
My 3RS OEM shift paddles feel like bolt-action rifle shifting at every click. Yes, it does feel different to non-GT cars.

Where do you get the $95 version?
I don't use m paddles much but the problem is that most people drive with their hands at 10&2 where the paddles cannot be reached. The paddles can only be reached when the hands are at 9&3; where nobody holds the wheel.
Yes, agree... on my 991.2 the very short OEM Porsche paddles force your hands to remain at 9/3 position which can be quite a pain/discomfort... also drive a Lambo Evo with long length shift paddles... very comfortable, hands can be almost anywhere on the steering wheel when shifting... made upgrading to aftermarket paddles for my Carrera a no brainer... paid $95, they look great... do obscure gas gauge so have to move my head a bit, but that’s a small downside...

@$250 I'm just not interested. @$100 or less [shipped] they still have PLENTY of margin left and I'd be interested.

[QUOTE=B Russ;17385574]Got Agency Power shifter extensions, Black, from Vivid Racing, but just checked and they are NLA... also, other venders for AP now NLA... but many other sites (e.g., e-Bay) show available for other brands... just make sure they use 3 M adhesive and not set screws (inexpensive, from China) for install...

This needs a bit of confirmation to not be "burning money" and end up with a placebo effect. If the part numbers of the 3RS paddles are indeed different, then yes doing this will be the right and more sensible approach along with being compatible with Chrono wheel.

Yes, however this is expensive to boot. And if you have a Chrono wheel, the RS steering wheel is not compatible. And if you have a 991.1, you will need the 991.2 airbag which is big money.

I already have a .2 wheel with my .1 and it’s sans any sort of controls or modules.
From the videos I’ve watched, it doesn’t appear as if the GT3RS paddles are any different.

There is no 'slack' in the paddle.
As soon as it moves it changes gears in my car.

For my 991.1 GT3 is there a paddle shift upgrade to make the paddles feel more similar to a Ferrari paddle shifter? I feel the Ferrari paddle shifters are more rewarding to squeeze and shifting gears.
I feel on the GT3 its too much pressure is required and not as mechanical. Not sure how to describe it.
Any solutions?

However, you will need to buy a .1 3RS steering wheel and airbag before you can fit the JCR paddles onto them.
