By metal base, you meant the silver shifter riser? That's the Rennline shifter riser. https://www.rennline.com/Shifter-Ris...fo/I32/SILVER/

Oh, that's the Numeric Racing shifter. It doesn't come with any shift *****. https://store.numericracing.com/coll...86-987-996-997

why does this feel like a game of charades.

The metal piece from the bottom left of the pic to the ****. I have the numeric shifter but thought the metal bit was rectangular. What you have looks round.

I didn't even think about that because that's actually part of the shift ****. That's the adaptor portion of the **** that's bounded to the wooden ****. The whole thing just slides over the stock shift blade and secured with set screw. If you look up what Manuel makes you will know.

Had a great time driving the roads of Southern Ohio in a Time/Speed/Distance Rally - called OneLapp of Ohio - with the Ohio Audi Club.

Default My 2007 997.1 Experience - Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Carrera S 2007 manual gearbox with a 2008 replaced engine.

VIN : WP0ZZZ99Z7S721125

Engine S/N : M97 / 01AT68866501

Mileage : 50,000 Km



Little history here, bought this piece of German engineering from a customer, who gave up on it 4 months ago. Previous owner had to resort to a "back-street" workshop and wasted an expensive list of genuine parts that he purchased from the local dealer in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which included a DMF, a starting motor, a clutch kit, in a desperate attempt to get this 997.1 back on the road, a "shot in the dark" so to speak, sadly, the "back-street" workshop blew up all the parts, again.

Yes, again, I came to know later on that this is the second time the same workshop recommended changing the DMF, starting motor and clutch kit due some "mysterious" misalignment resulting in incomplete meshing between the starting motor's pinion gear teeth and the flywheel teeth.





To make a long story short, the 997.1 is now on the lift after dropping down the tranny and we are going to drop down the engine today.

Although we are no experts in Porsche, least of all, the 911 Carrera, but we decided to become one and we are moving fast on the learning curve, that being said, we believe that the culprit behind the misalignment between the DMF and the starting motors is the crankshaft, we suspect that it's loose somehow and we need to get to the bottom of that, hence we are dropping down the engine.... Widh us good luck, we badly need it.

Cheers.

If you can, clay the car asap, otherwise tiny rust specks may appear.

Nice work on the DIY, the car does look cool, well done!
Also, you need a bench vice and some safety glasses.

Does the dead pedal shape not quite match the shape of the footrest or was it just installed a bit crooked?
