Yes, but only if the body flex exceeds the shift linkage play.




I haven't noticed any during driving, on the other hand I have a loud exhaust. In 3rd or 4th I would expects some rattling where there is no spring tension. A closeup with a gopro on the gate should reveal any clicking or torsion in the linkage.




The shifter "works", ther's no question about that since I've driven the car a few times with it now (Sorry, didn't make any video yet as I promised). The only question is if it will cause any long term damage to the transmission. My calculations says no but more tests will follow.


My guess is that Porsche didn't want to make a fully gated shifter because it requires a precise adjustment of the coupler and frequent replacing of the bushings.

All good, I am anything but a factory stock purist. The list of mods on my car is long and almost tedious. While I applaud anyone who wants to make their car better, but it seems like some products/ideas are to solve for a maintence shortcoming. I have a Seine Shift installed on my car, Rebel Racing semi solid engine and trans mounts, new cup bushing and detailed shift rod adjustment. My car is the best shifting manual transmission vehicle I have ever driven, at 60 years old, I have never owned an auto trans vehicle. Given the design of the synchro’s and 60 year old design, the transmission works superbly. I will submit the gate was either tried and the manufacturer decided it wasn’t necessary. The elegance of the good Dr’s design is balanced between cost and benefit realized. Anybody who might be having shifting imprecision check all the existing system components. The Darwinian concept basically shows that almost every shift tower gate design has a short production run followed by discontinuation. But if CNC milled parts are desired for esthetics, that’s a different horse.
