A new member's 944 S2

Looks and sounds like a nice one. And in the preferred colour. Good choice, and keep up with the work.

Of the crazy money I've lavished on mine over the last two years I actually think the short-shift upgrade from JMG was my most pleasurable (non-essential) spend. It has a far more satisfying mechanical feel than the often sloppy change you find in many high mileage 944's. If you come to Bedford for the track day you're welcome to sit in my car and go through the gears to see how it feels.

(By the way, I have the shorthest throw "race" option. Jon also does a slightly less short "road" option).

Ewan,

I'll be at Bedford on 25 March and would appreciate testing the gears if that's OK with you? I'm thinking of the short shift kit from JMG but am undecided.

Another vote from me for the JMG short-shift. I have the road option in mine (and also the JMG gear lever with modified pin) and the shift is excellent, very positive. That said, I do agree with Paul's comments above that it is quite notchy. Mine is not a daily driver and I may feel differently if it was. When cold, shifting from second to first is not easy.

I will also be at Bedford in March so perhaps Ewan and I should line up next to each other and anyone interested can compare the road versus race shift options.
 
I like mine, (bought mine elsewhere) it is a little notchy between 2nd - 1st but also planning to replace the lever and bottom bush cup thingy.
