Default Round shift **** for 996 GT3?

Folks,

I'd like to switch out my stock OEM shift **** which is long and thin for a round shifter, very similar to what comes stock on the 997 GT3. I'm thinking about upgrading the shift mechanism to the 997 unit and would like to switch out the **** at the same time. Porsche offers the carbon fiber style shift **** which was an option for our cars, but even that is still very similar to what I have now. I've seen the 997 alcantera **** retrofitted to fit our cars, but I'm looking for an easier plug and play solution.

I've also seen the RUF shifter ($400), but I'm not that impressed by it.

Are you aware of any other options for a round shifter?

Thanks,
D

I have the Rennline aluminum ball **** which has a good feel and looks very racey. It was under $100. It looks good with a short shift kit.

I went with the 996/997 hybrid version for my GT3. Got it from Gert at Carnewal. Here's a pic.

The 997 shift **** works just fine on the 996 shifter, you just don't use the locking collar. The 997 GT3 ****...

Wow, that looks great! Any details on the ****/boot + hand brake? Where did you get them? I like the yellow stitching.

Scott does your car know the amount of compliment that it gets? I mean do you talk to her about it at all she will be very happy and might return something in the track. These babes' vanity is well-known.

I give her jewelry, new shoes, keep her clean, and tell her she looks great, but she is still pretty feisty on the track when we go dancing.

That's because she doesn't want to be made love to..........she's "that" girl. You know, the one we all had that summer fling with back in our undergraduate years

If you can't keep up she will punish you

Bolt in, Hang on, and Enjoy the ride!

I bought new sexy underware for my striper. Think she will look very sexy.
Half nude is sexier than full right Mooty?
