Removing RUF Short Shifter
In reviewing the RUF Short Shifter installation guide, it looks like some factory parts are removed and replaced with new brackets on the transmission (nothing appears changed in the shifter area). Original guide attached for reference.
Can anyone help me ID which parts those are, so I can order them. I would like to remove the RUF Short Shifter, it sucks, and replace it with the OEM 997 setup.
Any help is appreciated, I recall reading at least one other person on here who removed their RUF and said it was a world of difference. I believe the B&M unit is the exact same as the RUF, but could be wrong.
Thanks!

edit: It looks like this is the stock part that the RUF replaces? http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-9...6503-srch.html I don't think anything else was replaced, just added.

Why not just pull the whole console and replace it with the 997 console.

what confused me what you were looking for you mentioned the B&M which is only a modification to the shift console, not at the trans! Hence my response.

Oh, sorry! That may have been bad or out of date info. I was told by the Ruf US distributor that the original B&M may have been a copy of the Ruf parts, but that could be wrong.
I did upload the Ruf install guide which I think shows that just one part is changed, but was hoping someone could confirm.
