Seasons Greatingsto all Porker lovers

Have just mannaged to secure one of the last Oakley Sequential gear shifters to fit on my 997 GT3RS as this is not a DIY hobby fit was wondering if anyone could recommend a company who could fit this unit - preferably in the South East.
many thanks
and best wishes

JZM recently fitted a sequential box to a 997.2 RS... works well and have seen it being used at Spa with no problems.

Can't Oakley Design fit it for you? I believe they're near Colchester, Essex.

A cup car 'box or a sequential shifter modification?

Was looking into this the other day. Doesn't this setup kill the syncro rings - so gearbox rebuild?

It's not a flat shift sequential. You use the clutch on up and down shifts. Push the selector forward and you change down a gear, pull it backwards and you up shift.

Thanks for all the replies -
Jon Oakley has made contact and come to the rescue with a very fair price for fitting the unit.
We may have a spare (4 hrs use ) complete Oakley SQS unit for sale in the new year if anyone is interested let me know
happy new year and thanks once againhttp://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/imgs/9.gif

I had one fitted to a gt3 RS....novelty value only and then it broke half way round Donnington.

[judehuber]

Sorry to hear you had probelms - this is a serious bit of kit -
who fitted your system ?
the sequential shifter we have fitted is great and works fine absolutely no problems on a 997 GT3 RS
we imported the system from Germany - made by SQS and marketed and fitted in the UK by Jon Oakley
would be very interested to know what you had fitted
best regards

It was the original Oakley shifter, supplied and fitted by Oakley.

No.

[judehuber]

thanks for coming back - doesn't sound right though ?

did Jon Oakley fit your system then ?

was it the GENUINE SQS system ?
as if it was - your unit failure must be a first ?? !!

there have been 100's of the GENUINE SQS units fitted and still in use
mainly in the USA

Anyway, hope you got a full refund from whoever fitted it !
