7MT: GT4 vs Numeric Short Shifter, which is best?
#16
I am totally fine with the shifter alone, do not feel like it needs further improvement.
I have the 2mm spring
Cables are a much more bigger job and I just didn't do it out of laziness. Looking back now, I am totally OK with not having to do that extra work.

The only way you will figure this out for yourself is to find local people with each that you can try and see which you like the feeling of better. People’s opinions are so subjective, and most have only tried one or the other. Plus, people are often going to be excited and supportive of something they put their $ into doing, I’m just saying there is some inherent bias. Find locals that will meet up for a weekend cruise and let you sit in their car and feel the shifter. Even better if they let you drive it 😊

Did you order right through their site?

I know I am.
It definitely sounds like the Numeric 2” with no cables is the route I’m going to be most happy with long term.

I prefer a heavier, direct, mechanical shifter feel.

This is exactly my situation. However, I could see myself potentially one day doing the cables but that is low on the list of things to do. Very low.

Hey everyone!
I have a 991.1 C2 7MT and I’d love to do a short shifter to clean up the play in the gearbox.
GT4 at GPP is $280

Numeric is $700
https://store.numericracing.com/prod...he-718-981-991
This is not a track car, but I’d like to know everyone’s personal experiences with both and advantages/disadvantages.
Thanks!

It's because ignorance is bliss The difference with the cables is the same level of improvement of the stock to numeric shifter. I DIY'd the cables with a friend and it was a HUGE pain for my first time, I bet I could do it MUCH quicker the second time around.

Another think mod to consider is a weighted Function first shift ****, I ran this for a bit until I replaced it with a custom made wooden ****, but that also changed the shifter feel quite a bit without any read added labor.
I think I still have mine somewhere, if you are interested I can try to find it in my storage.

I was just thinking about getting one.
The stick shift **** is so disappointing haha.

To me it feels
Like how the car should have come. The only issue I had with the stock shifter is it felt too tall. It might be worth mentioning that the 7 speed is new muscle memory. Probably why some people dislike as generally speaking people resist change.

I have not driven a car with just the shifter without the cables.
I will note that the stock cables literally look like bicycle cables. They are puny compared to the Numeric cables.
I just went all in instead of doing something stepped or possibly leaving something on the table.

For science, I'm going to install the aftermarket shift cables with the GT4 shifter to see how that feels before deciding on the Numeric shifter. I wonder if I'll be the first lunatic to do it backwards like this.
