2010 GT-3 vs. 997 shifter


Recommended Posts

I know, I know use the search feature. Thanks.

Now that we got that out of the way.

I just want a simple yes or no is the 2010 GT-3 shifter worth the $179.00 over the regular 997 one? i don't like the SSK nor the B&M so I want just a bit shorter throw and I am not tracking the car. It is my semi DD and all I am looking to do is minimize the row boat feel, LOL.

After reading buch of posts basicall looks like 2010 GT-3 and 997 shifter are identical except for metal bushings. For $200 that is some expensive metal. The concern I have is vibration and tranny noise with the metal and basically is there evean a difference you can feel?

Ready to order so please give me some feedback, thanks guys.

A simple "yes" to the 997 shifter. Go drive on and see if you like it.

I installed the 997 SS yesterday on my 1999 996. The installation was easy and straightforward. The hardest part was the console removal. I find the shifter to be more precise and significantly shorter in the trows. First gear requires a healthy push when the car is cold. One of my favorite modifications. Got mine from Suncoast ($430). Honestly, anyone can do this at home! I am no mechanic and this is my first 9996. Just remember to mark the position of teh cables before removing teh old shifter and place them precisely in teh same location on the new one.
