After thinking several times about getting a short shift fitted on the Cayman I happened on one for sale and it was just too good an opportunity to miss. So after buying it and having already researched the installation on Planet 9 I knew it was also a reasonably easy DIY job, so did it one evening last week. Hardest part as ever was gaining access to the shifter and of course I had the Bose sub-woofer to get out of the way too which was not in the instructions, clips retaining the gaiter were tricky but apart from those items plain sailing.
Must say that I'm pleased with the result, shifts do seem quicker but more than that, I prefer the new positions for each gear particularly 2, 4 & 6 which always seemed a little too rearwards. As some have said, it felt a little heavier the first time I used it but I very soon got used to it. I've driven a couple of brand new Caymans 5 & 6 speed which have been far stiffer but they no doubt loosened up a few hundred miles further on.
