Post B&M short shifter vs Porsche warranty

I am considering installing the short shift from B&M. Does this void any warranties from Porsche? Also, if the car is leased, will the lease company demand that the short shifter be removed and replaced with a stock Porsche shifter at the end of the lease? TIA

My dealer said it would not void any warrenties on the car. They stock then and install them daily. As far as the leasing company goes, how would they ever know?

I have the B&M and some other mods, and do frequent de's. I have had no problem getting warranty work done at my local dealer which is Champion Porsche in Pompano Beach, FL.

I guess it depends on the dealer/service you're dealing with. Some don't make a big deal and some do. I would ask your dealer/service guy and go from there. My dealer/service knows I did the B&M/Unichip/Row suspension/ intake and exhaust and they know I track quite abit so when car was under warranty(not anymore-expired) never had dealer/service issues. Regards. Mike

FYI, My Dealer had 'em in stock & offered to put it in on arrival, which was done @ about $300. No Warrantee issue according to them. By the way What Are You Waiting For? Try it you'll love it! and wonder why it doesn't come that way.

depends on dealer. i never had prob with warranty and B&M, however, they did warn me that if i had tranny prob and they see damage on gears, they COULD assume that i shortshifted and was banging gears before the shortshifter engaged, thus not warranty it.
