Default Short Shift Kit on a 997.1 ?

Curious if anyone has done the short shift kit on the 997.1 GT3, I'm told it makes the shifting a bit easier/smoother ?

Cup cables will make it buttery smooth. A short shift kit for any gt3 would be a freaking nitemare. Mike

Ok ,the guys at Truspeed recommended it to me. I'll probably be fine with the GT3 shifting anyway.

short shift is garbage.

you will want 996 CUP shifter cables. The stock 997 cable wear after awhile... the 996 CUP cables are rifle bolt like action!

short shifter...... i suppose they also think an air intake and tinted windows will help too

can anyone kindly point me to the part numbers for the Cup cables?

What is involved in changing to the cup cables? Will I need to change anything else?

I also want to take the chance to ask if we can put the 3.8/4.0's shorter 6th and final gear ratios into the 997.1 RS. Thanks!
