Hi, I’m a new owner of a Cayman R and looking for opinions from anyone with experience of changing from standard gearshift to the opc short shift inc gt3? and the pro‘s and con‘s involved, all views, opinions and any other information much appreciated????

Thanks in advance

I also agree - I prefer the short shift, having swapped over from the standard shift. One thing to note is that if you have an extended warranty, then the OPC will only allow you to fit the short shift for your model ie they won't sanction fitting the GT3 part.

 
it's a not even a 987 part anyway, it's a 997 short shift with a 997 part number.

The GT3 item is not that short either but it's better bushed, better off with the 997 Shortshifter imo, you can always add bearings to it 3rd party from function 1st.

or just buy the nurmeric racing cnc one :)

 
Ok that’s great guys👍🏻 So the million dollar question for me.................... Can anyone say between the 997 and gt3 short shift kits, which one gives the more satisfying gear change??......sorry lol

 
For your interest, Porsche T-Equipment range of accessories for the 987 Cayman included a Short Shifter kit available as a retro fit. As a Porsche approved accessory, this short shift kit can be fitted to your Cayman R by your local OPC.
