Ebay has a bunch of what appears to be B&M SSK knock offs. Has anyone tried one of these? If so, any issues? They can be had for like $50.

Why would you risk your gearbox?

Buy the factory 997GT3 shifter or the 997SSK.

Is there a site I can get the OEM SSKs? Or dealer only?

I'd suggest staying away from any "knock-off" shifters. Just pony up for the real B&M; it's not like they are very expensive.

Agree with Kevin.

Had my tranny rebuilt and the 2nd gear issue mitigated before G-box had the 100$ fix gadget....kept my oem 996ssk (source is B&M I think) as that mechanic adjusted it "just right" and it is butter smooth. Up to that point in time I would have said the 996ssk is junk. The fact it is so hard to get right makes it less than ideal.

Everyone says the 997 parts are better. I could be wrong here, but I think there may be a gt3 part too...that may be the ssk one. Whichever...that one has more metal and will hold up to track use better. If I change, that is the one I'd get in a heartbeat.

Sunset or Suncoast sell OEM parts cheaply.

Dealers might match it. YMMV.

I'd avoid a knock off.

Yes, B&M built the 996 SSK. The B&M shifter and the Porsche 996 SSK are identical.

I'm having a friend at PCNA check right now to see if B&M also builds the 997 SSK.

I personally didn't find adjusting the cables properly a big deal when I installed my B&M shifter. It took a bit of time and it took some attention to detail, but it's wasn't a hard process.
