Excellent video, Tommy. I just installed the Numeric SSK in my 718 Boxster GTS while swapping between your vid and the official one from Numeric. Your "pro tip" about the washer under the left rear corner came in super handy b/c mine was also rubbing. However, mine actually needed TWO small washers to shim it up enough! Anyway, this shifter is the real deal. Feels like a damn rifle bolt now!
Tommy, thank you for the clear step by step instructions. I just completed the install and and can say following your video while I did the work made it pretty easy. I didn’t thing that the just changing the shifter (without changing the cables to the transaxle) could make such a significant difference! No more sloppy shifter! I love it!
The linkage is shorter in the 991, not longer. The gearbox is in front on the engine in the 991. It's behind the engine in the 981. But it's a completely different gearbox. Which is why it feels different.
Thanks for the video! Really considering getting for my 982 GTS 4.0. Quick question- any issues with shifting into reverse or any fear of missing a gear with the new shifter?
I traded my F80 M3 for a 991.2 Lava Orange GTS PDK last summer and even though I loved the M3, the 911 is truly next level and I have become completely obsessed. Yellow was the next color in line if this car hadn't worked out...beautiful on 911's IMO. If I move into a GT3 at some point (I will lol), definitely thinking yellow. Enjoy the car, and if you come up to a Nick Murray meet again, etc. (I missed last one cause it was pouring lol) I'll be sure to say hello
i found that the left rear clip of the shift boot needs to be trimmed as the numeric housing is slightly in the way. happend to two vehicles I have installed the shifter on.
I think you mangled the metaphor (EDIT…simile; sorry Mr. Aimers)...you're confusing "pistol grip" (a la Dodge Challengers of old) with "rifle bolt". Otherwise stellar video! Might have to bite the bullet on one of these for my 996... (see what I did, there?).
I wish it was that easy to change shifter on the M2 I am looking at the RTD motorsports shifter because they is no trimming required, I had an abarth 500 and installed a CAE short trow shifter and it was amazing and easy to install too,
Got all interested in this video thinking I needed this but then realised the 991.1 Porsche Turbo S only has PDK. Sometimes I wish the car could switch between the two.
Tommy L, love the content as always. however, the lighting you are using is causing lines in your video. noticed it in the install portion. maybe this was something that was mentioned in a previous comment so apologies if it has.
I got the cable and the function first shift right kit for my 997.2 turbo that has the oem 997ssk.. if that leaves me wanting, I may end up going with this shifter
@@TommyLGarage As my father used to say, that's why they make chocolate and vanilla! I love mine ('17 base Carrera, Softronic Tune, SOUL Sport Cats & Headers, Numeric Shifter & Cables DSC Sport Controller,, GiroDisc Rotors, Pagid Yellow Brakes Pads for track days ) . Have you tried the DSC Sport Controller for your PASM system? Thanks Tommy, really enjoy the channel.
Hi. What is a part name of original carrera T short shifter? I have 991.2 c2s and only part I found is either same shifter for all 991.2 or the gt4, but this one is supposed to have 6 instead of 7 gears
@@TommyLGarage so case - part you installed as short shifter is 981.424.010.20 - from gt4? no issue as from vin it is 991.424.010.00 the long installed in factory? sorry for bothering but Porsche is not helpfull in that :)
doesn't it lean toward the front and not center like OEM? My friend has the whole bundle and we had to adjust the cables abit to center the shifter correctly.
