So I have been in a wait-for-it mode since I ordered my new Grbx from California Motorsports. One of the changes I will need to make is the shifter. The 996T 6-speed is different from the G50s in that the cross gate throw is the opposite direction movement of the cable. Not the shifter but the direction the cable moves. I had an old shifter that was given to me that was meant to be used with a ZF, so I used the box to make this one. It is a direct copy of the Porsche shifter I bought used on eBay.
So far I have more or less completed the actual box and shifter. Mine makes all the same motions and throw lengths as the Porsche. When I get the Grbx back, I will make the other end mechanism that is on the Grbx. I want to shorten the cable lengths and change the directions of their approach to the levers. The 996 shift levers are on the side of the case instead of all the way at the rear like on the G50. The other difference is the 996 Grbx is flipped and so the levers are on the opposite side from standard.
There is going to be a long flat bottom that will mount the cable's anchors as well as mount the entire unit in the same location and use the same mounting holes as my current G50 shifter.
The first picture is mine with the Porsche side by side and the last is the Porsche alone.
