new knob and short shift

Just had a new knob (that's a phrase you don't see often in an opening line) and short shift fitted by Chris Denning in Cardiff to my 2001 Boxster S and I must say the change makes a big difference to the driving experience. I was always a bit disappointed with the gear change on the Boxster until I recently drove a newish one and found the change, with a short shift fitted, much better (though still not brilliant Porsche if you're listening). It's a lot more precise and noticeably quicker in its ability to shift gear, the downside is that it takes more muscle to get the job done. I thought that might put the wife off but she seems to like it too (damn!) [:D]

Contact Chris at Chris Denning Sports Cars (tel 029 2069 2911) in Cardiff as he sourced and fitted all the parts for me.
Talk price to him too, though you only get what you pay for it did make my eyes water. Still Chris is a genuine guy and
does his best to keep price down as much as he can and on past experience he's a damn sight cheaper than my local
Porsche dealership.
 
There are two on ebay at the moment Sam though I've seen them cheaper.

I'm hanging on to mine as I'm part squirrel.
