Fantastic video! A much simpler installation than expected. Are the two springs, blue and black, (as we see 12:53 on the Numeric Racing Shifter), included with the Numeric Racing kit or did you buy that separately?

[@RevivedAndDriven]

Hi, thank you for viewing the video. Those are a part of the original selector cables on the car, there are Numeric Racing ones available. 👍

Thank you so much for watching, I really appreciate it 🙏

Very nice video! I had watched a couple others before this one and they were not even close in the quality. One I viewed they replaced the cables as well. Is this recommended and does it compliment the Numeric shifter? If not, it sure makes the job seem a lot simpler.

[@RevivedAndDriven]

Thank you for the kind complements, I really appreciate it! 🙏🏼 The cables are an option, but then the car has to be on a ramp to allow removal from the transmission selector. I have no doubt they would complement the Shifter however, they are not cheap.

[@marcusslade9804]

Coming to this two years later but very well done. I have an “01 C2 and had it since new but always edged away from a short shifter. However, recent research about the Numeric kit suggests that it's in a different league as far as SSKs are concerned. It appears you are using existing cables (not Numeric’s) but that there was a SSK already in your car. Do you know if your shifter cables were standard or themselves upgraded at some point? Also, I’ve read a bit about Numeric’s shifter cables being noisy? Any knowledge or experience with that? Again, many thanks. Incredibly useful video.

[@RevivedAndDriven]

Greetings Marcus, I want to express my gratitude for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts; your engagement truly enhances the video experience. It's admirable that you've maintained your C2 since its inception; it has undoubtedly become a cherished member of your family. 😊 The Numeric Shifter is undeniably a crucial addition! I considered leaving the centre console off post-installation; the aesthetic improvement is unmistakable and the Bolt-action gear change addictive. Porsche underwent a phase of streamlining and cost-cutting in collaboration with the Japanese during the inception of the 996. Consequently, while the design remained commendable, the materials used, particularly on the Shifter box, did not meet the traditional Porsche standards. I chose to stick with the standard cables on mine; they required no adjustments whatsoever. The Numeric cables, although superior, come with a hefty price tag and pose a greater challenge during installation. Additionally, I've encountered reports suggesting they may produce noise; however, I understand they offer protective sleeves to address this issue. Currently, I'm not inclined towards this option, but if I encounter any cable-related issues in the future, I may reconsider investing in Numeric cables. Thank you once again, and take care. 🙏🏼

Great video! Any issues a couple years later? Is there any risk of not fully engaging gears if you don’t adjust them properly? Can’t wait to do this following your video 👌 😊

[@RevivedAndDriven]

Hi William, thank you for watching the video. Absolutely no issues whatsoever, still as pleasant as the day I fitted it, it really is a beautiful piece of kit! If you're just replacing the Shifter, you really don't have to do anything with the cables, just clip them off then back on. 👍

Your shifter is angled backwards a bit more than stock. The fore/aft cable can be adjusted but it's personal preference. 3rd gear looked like neutral, etc.

[@RevivedAndDriven]

I can't say I've noticed, I left the cables at the same position as the old Shifter, which to my surprise turned out to be a genuine Porsche Short Shifter!

[@QwikKota]

@@RevivedAndDriven Ok, they may have been off before but when messing with my cables, I can't tell it makes a difference other than shifter position. I have the Ben Auto Design shifter and machined side lever. Not as solid as the Numeric setup but a lot cheaper.

[@RevivedAndDriven]

Not sure tbh, it seems OK to me, it never really occurred to me! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Guys….. a word to the wiser than me! I bought a numeric short shift, direct from the states at 699 dollars, then another 64 dollars transit. When it arrived I had to pay ANOTHER £135 import tax…… do not make this mistake! Go to Design 911 and buy direct in the UK

[@RevivedAndDriven]

Agreed, lesson learned! The hard way 😃

[@hectorfuji]

Hey! Any miss shift or grinding?

[@RevivedAndDriven]

None whatsoever 👍

[@davebentley3542]

Nice one! And a little gear knob surprise 👍 I’d seen those actually and feared they might sit too high, but it looks fine….. I think the piggy bank is going to get battered! 😋😋

[@RevivedAndDriven]

I had the same fears Dave, but it's perfect! It's built to the exact specifications as the original, but obviously to a very high quality! 👌 Thank you for your continued support, I truly appreciate it. 🙏

[@davebentley3542]

@@RevivedAndDriven ok, on your merits I think the trigger may be pulled…… I’ve contacted ICT to see if they can do a blue LED, if not I’ll see if I can replace it myself 👍

[@RevivedAndDriven]

That's great! That's a good shout, they should offer more LED choices. I'm interested to find out how you get on, keep me posted. 😊👌

[@davebentley3542]

@@RevivedAndDriven so….. apparently to get blue…. You have to order red LED, then request a blue one. Sounds a bit open to failure in my mind!

[@RevivedAndDriven]

Hmmm, strange! I suppose they've selected the most popular colours; It's good that they didn't just point blank refuse though, they're willing to do Blue. 👌

[@charliewolf7500]

Another T20. Oh they are taking the piss... Another T20. Will this madness ever end. Let me guess... another T-20.

[@RevivedAndDriven]

Yup! T20 galore! Hey, thanks for watching 🙏
