The obvious fix is to install a Hargett G50 shifter (no affiliation). I have a Hargett shifer on my (1987) Carrera, and I wonder why Porsche didn't design this frm day one... The shifter is WAY better than the original!
like he said...I think... or the CORRECT one is installed backwards. I can think of NO good reason to do this on purpose of course, and you are asking for a subconscious fast shift to the WRONG gear and kaboom. In fact, thats about the stupidest thing I can think of doing to a sports car. "Rare dog leg transmission" indeed, I am the general sales manager at a luxury dealership and I cringe when I hear about people who make up this BS at dealerships

But the right-hand drive gearbox idea was pretty good, that WOULD be cool if it was mirrored like the rest of the car lol
