Anyone know the part numbers for the Porsche supplied shifters?

Cheers,

Here's a change on what you are already looking at Mike:



Picked mine up earlier in the year and love that it feels nice, isn't Porsche specific or priced and has cool LED's inside to light up at night (you can choose color).

quite frankly, i really like the oem turbo ****.

mine is a bit worn, but if i had to replace it, i'd go with new factory one.

do you not like the feel of the stocker?

Mike, the RUF shifter that you posted a pic of is correct. Except for the base of the leather, of course. RUF makes one for the 993. I think they are $350-400.

I find it a bit slippery so I thought I would look at options. I have driven other cars with a different set of knows and liked some of the shifters much more. Personal choice drives a lot of this.

Hmm - that looks cool but quite stubby - I know its for the short throw. Where did you source it from?

I have the RS shifter. It looks good and it reasonably priced, but is skinny and lightweight.

I have the RS shifter, coupled with the RS shift lever. The **** is small, and feels light. But with the added height of the RS lever, the feel is perfection. My hand seems to fall right on it every time. The entire shift process feels light and effortless. It just feels right with the weight of my steering wheel. To me it's one of the little things that add up to the agile tactile feel of the car.

I have #2 and to be honest it looks good and feels okay but when it is cold, the aluminium can feel rather cold. It takes a while to warm to the hand. Not a problem in California but here, it is cold more often than warm. I like the one that Cam has in Dubai...

Which one is that? Can you add the picture to the thread?
