Sport Shifter Installation
S_Liners replied to S_Liners's topic in 997-1 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 2S, Carrera 4S)
That was very creative Jean, I must say. Thanks for the idea, I actually used a similar principle to remove it. I wrapped a piece of cloth around the shifter to avoid scratching it, then used a pair of locking pliers very close to the collar, and the used another set of pliers between them and pushed them down against the first set to create a lever, and that did the trick. So it is finished, very cool, I am glad I decided to install it, it's great. All the gears engaged seamlessly, no issues there, although when shifting into 2nd and 4th, I do get a small hit, probably from the bottom of the shifter, I am wondering if this is normal? Thanks. -

Thanks for your response, that is what I tried, but it is not moving at all after twisting the collar. Am I missing something? -

Jean, Ok, I am having exactly the same problem now. They really make it sound so easy on the installation guide, so I twisted the collar 90' clockwise, but nothing. How did you manage to remove it? What type of "tool" did you build? Thanks in advance. -

You can pry the shift boot off by inserting a screwdriver under the chrome ring and then gently prying it off. I suggest you fold a piece of paper or cloth over the screwdriver to prevent any scratches. Also, insert the screwdiver at four different opposed locations and just lift gently at each, rather than all at once . You can also try using a plastic spatula instead of the crewdriver . The biggest problem I encountered was getting the KNOB off . I actually had to make my own "tool" to pry the thing off. Thanks so much for the info, I will start working on it right away. Will let you know how it works out. :clapping: -
Shifting Gears

Jean, I made my first attempt to install mine today, but got stuck on removing the leather boot. How did you manage to unclip it? I can't wait to get it installed... Thanks, Leo. -
Hi, I am going to attempt installing an OEM Sport shifter and downloaded the guide from B&M. Looks pretty straight forward, except for step 1. Anybody has any experience on how exactly to unclip the leather boot? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Leo. :help:
