I'm looking to order a new shifter for my car.

I called sunset porsche and they said there's a difference in price btwn the c2 and c4 shifters. i asked them if there's a mechanical difference, and they couldnt answer me. does anyone in here know?

also aesthetically, does the c4 just have a silver shift pattern?

ideally i would like a black **** with a silver pattern. all help is appreciated!

thanks,

Pretty sure the only difference is visual: black shift pattern/centre on C2, silver on C4.

I replaced the stock tan shift ****/boot in my C2 with this one which I believe is the C4 (and maybe also turbo) version. Not only is the insert silver but the **** is larger and is weighted. I like the feel. Unfortunately, I do not have the PN.

ahh thats the exact one i want! and the fact that it's weighted would explain the price difference between the two! thanks so much!

turbo has the silver **** as standard too

does anyone know which cars came with the round one? like this?

^That's the aluminum/leather shifter. Available as option from the factory or as a dealer accessory.
Usually paired with the Aluminum/leather brake handle.

4WD cars have an alloy inner to them, its from the 944, 2WD cars just have the all rubber inner from the 964

The other option would be to purchase a 996 gt3 shifter or carbon unit and use your old boot as the base. I purchased a carbon/leather unit and installed my old boot. Looks and feels great.
Total cost was 150 for the 996 shifter ****.
I could post some pics if anyone is interested.

Can I get one of these without the boot?

Ryan,
I am pretty postive the ones you are interested in, are one peice units.

I would like to get one so it matches my ebrake.

My 96C2 has that ****, forgot the option code, but here is what it looks like, with the matching ebrake.

Suncoast has that particular shifter. Part no. is 9936SPALU
and its only 569.00
Of course if you wait, next year they will be around 800 bucks.

I have the same round **** in my cab. Not a fan as the sift pattern insert sticks a bit out making it rougher than I like.

My Miata has a perfect round heavy shifter (Voodoo for those familiar with Miata). it costs $40 and feels infinitely better than the $600-800 P-****.

Regarding matching aluminum brake... have that too. Get ugly hot in summer heat. And we are talking Boston, not even Cali or Florida. What am I sayin' here? Consider carefully before spending this kind of money on bling. My current cab came with those items, so I don't feel too bad.
