Had a few hours this weekend to work on my list of car mods, so I tackled the short shift install. I've got to say, the instruction manual from B&M was great. They detailed everything from start to finish. Took about 1 1/2 hours to complete the install. Most of the time was spent taking apart the plastic pieces - hearing the "pop" of the plastic connectors is a little scary at first. Fortunately, no damaged or broken pieces. I really like the crisp feel of the shifting. Looking forward to trying it on the track.
Because everything went so smoothly & I still had some time left I also completed:
- BK fire extinguisher seat bracket install
- Replaced the headlight wash nozzle
- Hard wired my V1 radar detector

It's not very difficult & like I said the directions are great. Just make sure you note what screw goes where. I taped them to the pages/steps as they were removed. Makes the re-install quicker & easier.

I tried a friend's '07 Mustang Cobra w/ newly installed short shifter. The shift throw was so short I couldn't tell what gear I was in! Hope the 996 version isn't as close!?
Let me know how it is Marc (if you ever get around to it)!

Did mine a month ago and love it. Mine took about 2 1/2 hours but I went slowly, not wanting to screw anything up. I can recommend this swap, along with the muffler mod, highly, and one of the best inexpensive things I have done to the car.

Any pics of the install? My stock one just broke and needs replacing.
