Hi all,

Trying to decide which direction to go as far as after market ***** for Manual transmission.

I searched but did not find a dedicated thread

Apologies to those who were thinking this was a Very Different Kind of Ask LOL

Thank you in advance

I like the **** from the 911T with the red coloured numerals...

Carbon **** out of a 911R with replacement boot (red vs the white stitching).

I have the FF ****. Initially went with it because it can be installed a bit lower--poor man's short shifter. Only downsides are is that it's cold in winter (never felt it too warm in summer) and that it's not stock in appearance. In the summer I finally added the Numeric shifter (no cables). I took my original shifter and wrapped the plastic bit in leather (the rest of it is Alcantara) and installed that when I swapped to the Numeric thinking this would be perfect. And it was close! The materials felt fantastic but it lacked a bit of weight. Left it for a couple weeks trying to get used to it, but in the end swapped back to the FF ****. So solid and has weight, felt so much better than the stock shifter which puts plastic between you and she shifter no matter what.

Extremely happy with the Numeric + FF aluminum ****. I'll "suffer" with a slight cool feeling in the winter before it warms up in exchange for sublime feel/action the rest of the time. The look of the FF **** to me is great considering it's not stock--I have the black brushed aluminum trim, so the shifter is a perfect match to that. (you can get lots of combinations even what color if any for the shift pattern, I selected things to match my car)

I really like those custom aluminum/wood shifters I see people are getting from that guy in Mexico--I bet they are not cold to the touch in winter. I'll leave it to someone who has one to talk about the pros/cons of those. I imagine the only con would be the price. (and the look, if you don't want to introduce wood, but you could probably get a wood finish which doesn't look like wood)


Function First aluminum ****

Mine is from Black Forest Industries. Weighted and leather wrapped. Matches the car splendidly. Shifts feel firmer and more precise.

The OEM shifter on my GTS is OK.
I like the Alcantara, but the plastic cap on top feels a bit cheapy.

This looks great. I poked around on their website but didn't see an option to get the shift pattern on top instead of their company logo. While it looks nice, I wouldn't want to put something with a big non-Porsche logo in the middle of the car.

Looks great!

Looks really nice!

Can't go wrong with either Function First option. Lots of color combos. Main decision comes down to Delrin or Aluminum:

I'll get a better shot once I go back to my car, but I replaced my FF with this wooden one. I have silver with Red Markings for a 7speed FF **** if anyone wants to buy one and not wait, DM me.
