Hi guys,

as you know im knew to the gt3 community. I feel my 996 gt3 a little sloppy when shifting.

i came from a 944t and c4s with short shifter and i kind of miss it.

ive read a few thread and there seems to be 2 good options for me.

either 997 gt3.2 shifter or 997 shortshifter

some people are matching the gt3 shifter with cup cables but i dont plan it right now, maybe later, i dont know cause its some big $

would it be better for me to get the gt3 shifter if I plan in the future to put cup cables or i should be fine and just order the 997 short shifter.

I also have a 997 alcantara **** coming to match my interior..

thanks for the help!

I would NOT put a short shifter in the car. Get the 997 GT3 shifter (the .1 is a little shorter throw as well). The previous owner of my 6GT3 had a SSK added and it was the worst thing, especially on track. THe 6GT3 box is just about perfect in throw and feel. Don't screw that up.

I have zero experience with the .2 shifter so I cannot comment on that. There are several guys that have the 7.1GT3 shifter here. Same as the stock 997 shorter but with plastic bits replaced with billet.

but 997 shifter is not the same as a 997 gt3 shifter??

I have a regular 997 shifter if you want to come over to feel the difference.

997.2 has more metal then 997.1 like what I can see the ends are metal whereas the 997.1 is plastic. Same throws though- it shorter then 6 maybe 10%. Less sloppy due to less plastic but cup cables would make it even way better ie precise. Mike

What are the main complaints about the 6gt3 shifter?

I find that engagement is good for the most part, throw is fine. The one area I wish to imProve is feel. I have a hard time getting into second from third. It's pretty vague in that regard.

^with more plastic more flex. Didn't mind the longer throw but felt more sloppy due to flex. Try 5 to 4 gearshift at 135-140 down to 95 mph- it could well slot into 2nd- been there done that. I still cringe doing the 5-4 even with 7.1 shifter. Mike
