5-speed shifter housing different from a 6-speed?


Recommended Posts

In an effort not to bugger up my stock shifter housing (while trying the SSK) I want

to buy a second housing to muck with. I've found a 5-speed and I wonder if it

is basically the same unit as the 6-speed (the housing, not the shifter).

I imagine I could check the parts catalog but I thought someone might have some

quick, direct knowledge of this.

thanks,

S.

Don't spend the time or $ on a second housing - just find a local member who has a SSK and try it out. You'll either love or hate it (love most likely) w/in a minute or two. I, like you, was worried and bought a second housing as I didn't know any local 986 owners (at the time) w/ a SSK . Needless to say, when I installed my SSK, the OEM shifter housing went on eBay the very next day.

BTW, if you don't love the SSK in a 986, then you might look for an OEM 987 (or 997) shift housing (a few on eBay right now). I've heard some say it's a nice step in between the OEM and a SSK in the 986 - food for thought I suppose.
