Hi

A couple of years ago, I had a B&M short shift kit and Evo linkage installed in my '04 GT3. I now want to revert to the stock shifter. Above is a pic of the stock parts that were returned to me at the time of the B&M transplant. Two questions:

1. What other parts do I need to go back to stock;

2. Is this a fairly simple DIY?

Thanks

The 2 parts in your pic are technically all you will need to go back to stock. However, your OEM plastic bushings were discarded with the B&M install. Just mount the OEM shift stalk within the B&M aluminum bushings.

The EVO link is simply replaced by the OEM spring loaded connector in your pic.

The job is a straightforward DIY, but I would recommend getting the plastic centering tool to help you realign the cables with the install. Also, get some grease to help the spring loaded connector back onto the ball end of the shifter stalk.

Thanks. I'll assume I can continue to use the Evo linkage. Also, thinking to get a set of the stock bushings, so I can sell the B&M kit.

I assume the tool can be had from a dealer. Any idea what it costs? Or does anyone have one I can borrow?
