U can also order with the cup shifter box too but it ain't a shorter throw(pretty much the same throws as the 6) but it has more metal to replace the ****ty plastics so more robust/less flex. Mike

I had cup shift cables and a 997 shifter put on my 996/GT3.. The change is absolutely amazing.

I have heard people describe it like a "springfield rifle bolt" and thats an understatement. It isn't a subtle improvement. I absolutely love it. Rock solid and precise. The slightly shorter throws are secondary to the precise feel.

The cup cables make a big difference too. Adds some noise as well. They have no rubber on the tips which gives less play but adds some amazing sounds. At idle in neutral the noise from the transmission sounds like a 68 chevy knocking badly. Clutch in and it goes away. Its a bit disconcerting at first. You sometimes hear it at low speeds.

But Now I have a precise shift assembly that feels like - a well oiled rifle bolt.

First reaction... "Holy Cr$ap!".. Reaction in the months since -
