GT4 shifter
I'm considering installing this into my 991 GTS and it sounds like a great upgrade however i'm wondering if anyone knows if this will at all negatively affect the transmission? Increase wear with various transmission parts?
I just want to see if there is any downside to installing the GT4 shifter into a 991. Any feedback is appreciated.

Basically the only differences between your stock shifter and the GT4 is the shorter shifter height and a stiffer spring that controls the lateral movement. All the other pieces are identical.
So really no downsides in regards to wear and tear.
This numeric shifter seems like a more interesting option.

I just installed the GT4 shifter in my 991.2 two days ago. I think it's a fantastic mod. Zero play in neutral. Nice, quick short and direct throws. Great mod. I bought one unused from another Rennlister and saved a couple bucks. Totally worth it.

Have it on my .1 gts and its great. Also consider the function first classic **** in combination and it feels amazing. To be completely impartial, the throws require a *slight* amount of effort more than stock but nothing egregious.

I have been also thinking of installing this for quite some time now... as we're aware, it basically turns the 991's into a GT4-like shorter throw shifter. Dealer quoted me 2 hours of labor for the install...

I actually felt the Function First Aluminum Weighted **** made a larger positive improvement than the short shifter.
I have both, and it's a solid improvement over stock.

For anyone interested, I just took this off my 991S as I'm going back to stock to turn the car in. I had it on the car for approximately 3k miles and loved it. Even though it is "just" a shorter shaft, it made the 5-6-7 transitions much more notchy and firm for me whereas the stock is now pretty vague. Pretty no-brainer upgrade IMO and I did it myself with little effort. Being very careful and laying everything out took me about 2 hours and the removal was about 45 mins since I knew what I was doing. There are several nice DIY guides on Rennlist and 6-speed for those inclined.
Was about to post in the classifieds, but will post here first for $249 shipped. Suncoast is $299+shipping so a nice little savings on a like-new part.
