GT3 Shifter
Just picked up a GT3 shifter for my 997 S. Anyone have a good DIY i can follow for the install? Can this be installed with basic hand tools or should i let a pro handle it? Looks fairly straight forward except for the adjustment of the shifter cables (if necessary).

Adjusting the cables right seems critical based on the threads I've read over the years by guys installing various short shifters themselves. Some ended up taking the car to a dealer or an indy to get it right. I had a B&M SSK installed in my -06 C4S and let my dealer do it based on the stories I had read. Absolute perfection without any trips back for fine tuning of the cables. One of the best mods for a manual car imo.

What are you guys talking about “adjusting the cables” the factory cables do not have adjustment. You put the car in neutral, remove the shifter, put the locking tool on the new shifter and pop the cables in.
you can pop them out and repop them back in if you want to be real **** about zeroing it but the locking tool does all the work.

The 4 nuts on the shifter console are lock nuts so just make them snug with a 1/4 ratchet, they aint going anywhere.
One tip is to protect the leather on your parking brake because it can be easily scratched.

I just tightened them, they are small 10mm nuts, probaby gave them 20 ft/lbs
