Everything needed to completely remove all the slop from your shifting. All motion on the shifter is directly transferred to the transmission.
Features:
OEM Fitment: A direct swap and fitment from original shifter. Nothing required but a few common use tools.
Self Centering: Dual self centering springs (pictured yellow mounts, but will be black in final product). The shifter is centered automatically in the 3-4 plane (915 transmissions) or 2-3 plane (901 transmissions) or 1-2 plane (930 transmissions). No more spaghetti-like shifting or the shifter bouncing around. Multiple spring sizes gives a variety of side to side tension options based on your preference.
Throw reduction: Throw reduction of up to 40%. Use of a longer shift knob can increase the throw so it is only reduced by 30% if 40% is too much for preference. No more rowing.
Adjustable Reverse Lockout: Does your reverse gear get skimmed even with the stock reverse lockout? Our reverse lockout is adjustable so that it is dialed in perfectly to each car.
All Stainless Steel Hardware: All hardware is stainless steel and all aluminum is anodized. Rust won't be a worry with our shifters. Also, the reverse lockout and the bottom of the shifter is hardened steel for wear resistance.
Ball Bearings on Every Moving Axis: We remove all bushings and clips that hold the stock shifter in place and bare metal to metal contact for pivot with ball bearings. This is how we are able to remove all the play from the shifter and provide precise shifts.
Shift Rod Linkage:
-The ONLY aftermarket shift linkage that is maintenance free that isn't a U-Joint. Buy and install once, it isn't fun to keep adjusting this stock linkage every time you swap the bushings.
-No wear or play that is introduced from wear because we don't use plastic bushings. Any small play in this linkage is translated directly to the shifter, so get rid of the stock.
-Directly replaces OEM shift Linkage.
Disclaimer: The 2mm Spring option comes with yellow bushings instead of black

Porsche Short Gear Shift
At Design911, we supply a wide range of short gear shift options for Porsche models, helping you maintain, personalise and enjoy your car.
Why do Porsche Short Gear Shift matter?
Short gear shift kits affect how your Porsche feels and responds every time you change gear. Over time, standard linkages and mechanisms can feel loose or imprecise, or you may simply want a more engaging, performance‑orientated shift action. Replacing or upgrading these parts can sharpen the driving experience and better match other performance modifications on your Porsche.
- Keep your Porsche feeling precise and well set up rather than loose or vague
- Help protect surrounding components by reducing harsh, missed or rushed shifts
- Reduce minor niggles such as excess lever play or inconsistent shift feel
- Support long-term enjoyment, pride of ownership and potential resale value

When should you review or replace your Porsche short gear shift?
Checking short gear shift components regularly helps you spot wear, damage or age-related deterioration before it affects comfort, refinement or leads to more expensive repairs later on.
- Existing parts are worn, cracked, scuffed, corroded or feel excessively loose
- You notice missed shifts, baulking or an untidy, notchy shift action
- You have had related work carried out and want the shift feel to match other upgrades
- You want the car to feel sharper and more engaging in daily use or before resale
If any of these apply, it is a good time to review your short gear shift parts and replace anything that is past its best, so your Porsche stays dependable and enjoyable to drive.
