Factory Shifter Wanted
I am looking for a factory shifter complete ready to install in a Boxster. Mine is a 2001 6 speed, but I understand the shifter is the same for a 5 or 6 speed.
It must be complete including bushings,so I can remove the B&M Short shift kit and go back to factory shifter. Must be in good condition and must be reasonable. Thanks for checking. Also If anyone who wants the short shifter and is interested in a trade, once I get the factory shifter installed, I would be very very reasonable on the short shifter. As reasonable as straight trade. I just do not like the short shifter. PW

I didn't like it either. I installed the OE shifter with the B&M supplied bushings. Dealership wanted about 300 for a new shifter/bushing assembly. If you decided to use the B&M bushings, take out the soft rubber liners on the OE bushings and use those instead of the hard plastic B&M bushing liners which are easily removed. This smoohts out the action greatly and now my shifter is back to where it should be plus it has the added benefit of the adjustable bushings from B&M. Only problem is the B&M shifter unit is worthless sans bushings but hey you are going to lose money on this deal either way so I just used what I had and it works fine. Good luck and let us know what you do.

Thanks for the reply.
I will keep you posted on developments once I find a shifter. Too bad I was stupid and did not get the old shifter back from the dealership that installed the B&M. It was done in Louisiana and now I am in Tennessee. My loss. PW
