Boxster quick shifter
Discussion
I had a B&M fitted to my Boxster within about 2 weeks of buying it.
I had come from a Honda S2000, which I still think has one of the best gearboxes out there. The shift is very tight and short. Lovely.
When I first test drove the Porsche I noticed how long the throw was and decided this certainly would not do.
I bought the shift kit off eBay, actually off someone else off Boxa.net, for £150. The chap had bought it mail order from the States where they are supposed to be really cheap. Then had it fitted by Zentrum Porsche in Notts for £70 all in. It is supposed to be a doodle to do yourself, but I simply could not be bothered to get my hands dirty
Best money I ever spent on the Box. Makes the change really positive and ever so short in comparison to standard.
I am currently looking for a 911 and will be fitting a B&M short shifter again immediately.
