recently, I was asked to move a yellow CTR-2 during a photo shoot. The shifter seemed VERY different from my car - much shorter throws and very tight/lacking in slop. The owner was not around so I couldn't ask any questions. What did Ruf use for a shifter? Was this a 2WD or 4WD car? In hindsight, I should have at least looked to see if it had front axles or a dimpled tunnel cover.

ps - my car was parked next to it during the shoot. I felt like a pair of brown shoes with a tuxedo

I'm not sure what Ruf uses, but i'm sure it is of the short throw variety. What shifter do you currently have installed Doug?

I just have the stock one but liked the Ruf one for the very short time/distance I drove it out at Automotorplex

Doug,

I have 97 993TT and asked Ruf in Germany this week about their short shift kit - the answer was "not recommended due to drive shaft tunnel, could be done but you would need to do a lot of metal working."
I don't know of anyone who has a plug and play version yet....maybe a RS version would work??

Gotcha. Well you're welcome to try demo the rs short shifter in my car anytime sir if you'd like.

I don't remember - did you convert to 2WD or are you still AWD?

It's rwd, but I would believe the rs shifter works with either configuration.
