Hi Folks ---- I installed the **** and it fits and shifts beautifully. It took me oh, only 1 hour longer that it should have taken me to install (should have taken me 5 minutes) because I kept on jamming pieces 34 and 35 into the very end of the shift **** … with resultant "wobbly" results while shifting …. until I figured out, as 911pervy stated, that 34 goes on the end of the shaft and 35 only goes half way up.

Anyways, this makes shifting lovely, and I ended up not using the clip. I don't like the way that the rounded end of the clip places "pressure" from the inside out against the shift boot at times….

Sunset is correct in a way I think. The c2 **** is difficult to fit on a c4. Porsche no longer makes the aluminium look **** for c4 so when I got the c2 version I had a hell of a time making it fit snug.

Bringing this thread back. Thinking about adapting this weighted C4 ****/boot ($355 from Suncoast) to my C2. Would prefer the tecequipment alum **** if this ever gets produced, but at $500+ a bit too pricey. If anyone has either of these & are willing to part with....shoot me a PM.

I'm currently having this same shift **** (from my C4S) re-trimmed (stock, black leather) at Carsdream.

It will be for sale when I get it back, for less than a brand new **** (which I recently purchased and installed).
