32krazy!

in the spring i spend most weekends in bowling green ky at beech bend raceway. your welcome to cruise down and try the numeric if you want. its like a work of art and i hate to hide it under a boot!! smoothest shifts ever

Numeric Racing

All are quality products but in the end you definitely get what you pay for. Instead of using plastic we eliminate any chance of flex by having an all aluminum structure. Then there are three easily adjustable lever positions of your choice that are simply accessed under the shift boot. At the lowest setting you'll have a 40% throw reduction. I'm sure though after you have one installed you'll forget all about the throw and focus entirely on the experience! You'd be one happy camper plus we back it with a lifetime warranty!

996 Cup shifter and cables. No plastic, no slack. Race proven. I have and like.

And a fellow RL'r has a set for sale.

Here is a link to a comparison of the Porsche SSK and B&M

Another for the 997

And DOCK here is the link for the EVOM linkage:

Have you ever replaced rubber suspension parts with hard urethane suspension parts in any sports car? The increase in stiffness and stability between parts that have the urethane parts between them is astounding. On my 280Z I replaced all the rubber suspension parts with hard urethane parts and the difference was amazing.

The interior socket lining (the socket that connects to the lower ball-end of the shifter) is hard urethane in the shift link. There is zero play inside the socket because the ball-end can not compress the hard urethane. The OEM connector has soft rubber inside the socket, and the ball-end easily compresses the rubber. Additionally, the OEM connector is made of plastic (it can crack/break) where the EVOMS piece is billet aluminum and is a very solid surround for the hard urethane in the socket. The difference in shifter fell between the OEM connector and the shift link is night and day.

Dock...don't shoot the messenger...did you read the link? BTW the EVOMs linkage also uses set-screws to attach to the wires...more room for failures. I believe the difference in the stock linkage and the EVOMs link is hardly night and day...but you do a nice sales job for EVOMS...I'll stay with my PERFECT setup thank you. In any case lets not forget the OP, which is why I gave multiple comparison links...not to force my OPINION on others...LOL...Happy Holidays.

Sorry, I didn't intend it to be taken that way.

I realize that. I've installed three of them on three different Turbos. Tighten the allen screw down nice and tight and add a drop of lock-tight. I've had my shift link installed for over 8.5 years now; never had any issue with the attachment.

With the B&M plus shift link, when the shifter reaches the end of the gear change it feels like how the wooden handle of a ball ping hammer feels if you hit a solid plate steel with the hammer; hard as a rock. That is way different than the feel produced by the OEM connector.

Merry Christmas.

I suppose I could guess your answer, but have you actually driven your car without the EVOMs linkage. Seems you did both at the same time. In any case, to each his own.

I had these lying around and wanted to share the visual comparisons of one another. The top shifter came out of our 996 GT3 cup car, the one below it came out of a 997 GT3 and finally a pic of a Numeric Racing shifter plus the two. I also wanted to share a Numeric testimonial thread from a recent install replacing the stock GT3 RS shifter: https://rennlist.com/forums/997-gt2-...t-shifter.html
Food for thought...

Dock

Yes.

Have you driven the B&M with the EVOMS linkage?

wross996tt

I can't improve on perfection...LOL

Dock

You don't know perfection until you've driven the B&M with the shift link.

32krazy!

correction. you dont perfection until you hold the numeric in your hands!! its a shame to cover it with a boot. at the track i have missed 3rd gear more than a few times. ( had a b&m ss but didnt know it at the time. it came with the car) with the numeric its as if the shifter knows what gear i want to be in

Dock

I probably wasn't clear; the EVOMS shift link brings the B&M shifter up to perfection. I didn't mean that the combination is the perfect shifter in the world for everybody.

I don't track my Turbo, and I don't miss 3rd with my current setup.

I'm glad people love their numeric, it's just not what I need. Enjoy yours in good health.

SSST

Will the shift links work with any 996 shifter?
