That's a great price for one of the best mods I've done on my car. I love my B&M short shifter! (un-biased, non-paid spokesman)

I wish I'd done mine a lot sooner. It makes every shift just a little crisper and even more fun.

So I'm biased, but un-paid. In fact I had to pay for my shifter - got this same deal in June. Worth every single penny and then some.

Some owners (B&M and others) mentioned their shifters have more side-to-side play (compared with OE units). Have you guys experience this?

In my experience it's completely the opposite.
The B&M shifter feels "gated" whereas the OEM is much more sloppy.
To me, it's one of the best driving improvements you can make in a Porsche with a relatively small investment.
Happy Boxstering

My finding is the same as Pedro's. Shifts are just more precise period. All movements - front to back and side to side are shorter and crisper.

I held off for a number of years, not wanting to change my Boxster. Once it was in, I could see just how much more enjoyable it was to snick from gear to gear. That is the shifter that Porsche should be putting in all its manual transmission cars.
