How do you tell a factory shot shift kit

84 Carrera Cab

How do I tell if I have a Porsche or factory Short shift kit installed. What is the difference in appearance.

Thanks

You have to measure the lever travel, or pull it out of the car and look at/measure some of the components.

I borrowed this photo:


Obvious visual differences:
Every factory short shift (FSS) kit I've seen, including the semi-short shifters from '85-86, have a ring welded just below the knob end of the lever to anchor the factory leather shift boot. A more definitive difference is the rectangular "fork" that the lever pivots within (@ 3 o'clock). The profile of the top surface is curved as shown, whereas the fork on regular factory shifters has a flat profile. In addition, the hole in the FSS fork is offset about 12mm higher than its location in a non-FSS fork.

Hope this helps,
Sherwood
