Default OEM Short Shifter

I've done some research and although most like the OEM Short shifter, some claim it's not worth it, makes the shifting more difficult, specially in colder weather?!

What's the consensus? and where to buy at best price?

Thanks

Did it myself in my 996, yes there is that but would not look back. More accurrate shifts and quicker shifts.
Try Eric-Bumperplugs, B&M is OEM for the Porsche product

Well, I heard 996 needed it much more than 997. Do you have it on your current car?

I had B&M on my Audi, never again!

I have it on my 997 and it's amazing. Direct, smooth shifts. First and second require a small amount of extra effort in colder weather, but they "warm up" as the car does.

Get it, you won't regret it.

Plus it loosens up with more miles.
