Installed the Fister short shift kit & golden rod -AWESOME
I installed the Fister short shift kit and golden rod over the weekend. I cant stop smiling. This is the way this car should have been. Short precise shifts. No play or rubbery feel that I had before. I highly recommend this. One thing to Note: be careful when removing old parts -make sure you put the 4 plastic bearings in a safe place. They are not easy to find. Darin hit a home run with this.

ZS:
+1 on the Golden Rod.
But make sure you measure the length of your original shift rod and adjust the new one to match! I didn't and had to go through the whole thing again to adjust it.
No idea on the short shift, mine is a C4!
Cheers,
Paul.

We do have a low clearance SSK for the AWD cars which drastically minimizes the modification of the tunnel cover. There was some talk of it over on the 993 turbo forum a while back.
Same price as the regular SSK
Glad you like it Zane!

Ditto. Turbo Sports are being shipped back to me this next week per Darin and I'm in line for the golden rod and SSK. Excellent!

Darin- I didn't see it listed on the website... Am I looking in the wrong place? Would you happen to have the turbo forum thread link? I assume they discuss what kind of modification needs to be done on the tunnel cover? Thanks....

it will be on the site soon. I have a few pics, just need to add it.
There are a few threads on the forum but none really cover the modfication with our SSK. The threads there show the mod and all are pretty "extreme" compared to using our low profile SSK for the AWD cars.
Here is one RLer (Basal Skull) who made his own tunnel cover. His pics give you an idea of mod required to the tunnel cover. It isn't much. https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ferrerid=35947
There are a couple of pics on the 2nd page of that thread that show the difference between the FDM SSK and the standard RS lever installed. Please read the posts carefully so it is clear which is which.
This stuff can be confusing for those not intimately familiar with the shift mechanisms on these cars...
Any questions, let us know!

Looks awesome Darin! Nice work. Thanks! I 'extracted' a Porsche crest off another old Amco shift know I had. I'm ready!
I actually meant to send this as a PM....

I am such a "mark" for FD Motorsports...
I have the SSK, the Platinum rod as well as the Stage III muffs, all incredible products. Thanks to FD Motorsports. I had better get up to their web site and see what else they have for sale for me!
