What This Product Does:
- This is a short-shift kit / short shifter insert for manual gearboxes used in older Porsche 911 models (and compatible transmissions).
- Its main function is to reduce the throw / distance the gear lever must travel between gears.
- By shortening the shift distance, it allows quicker shifts, giving a more “direct” and sporty feel to the gearbox.
- Because the lever movement is reduced, it typically changes the mechanical leverage slightly, which can make shifts feel firmer and more precise (less slack).
- Inconsistent or sloppy shifts - If the mechanism is worn, not properly fitted, or the insert is loose, you may feel slack, missed shifts, or extra play.
- Dragging or binding gear lever - If tolerances are tight or misaligned, the lever might bind slightly during movement, especially when shifting quickly.
- Noise or rattle in shifter area - A loose insert might cause clicking, rattling, or vibration felt through the shift lever.
- Reduced effectiveness / drift - Over time, the kit components (bushings, linkages) can wear, reducing the short-shift benefit or making it feel “softened.”
- Gear change errors under high stress / racing - In a performance setting, when you expect crisp shifts, a degraded kit might lead to missed or slow shifts.
- Faster shifts: Less lever travel means quicker transitions between gears, especially useful for spirited driving or track use.
- Better shift feel: Reduced slack or play gives a more direct, mechanical, connected feel to the gearbox.
- Enhanced driver engagement: More responsive shifting helps the car feel more “driver-oriented” and sporty.
- Minimal downsides: A good kit does this without dramatically increasing wear or negatively affecting everyday comfort.
- Value in restoration / upgrades: For classic Porsche owners restoring or upgrading, applying a short-shift kit helps modernize the driving experience while retaining originality.

Product Description
Our new ExactShift chassis mounted short shifter for the 1987-89 Porsche 911 ushers in a whole new level of performance for the G50 gearbox. The OEM shifter lacks adjustability and precision and certainly leaves room on the table for improvement. Our shifter solves these design flaws to allow fine tuning to your specific driving style, both on and/or off the track. All of this wrapped up in an eye catching and aesthetically pleasing design with the level of quality, engineering, and manufacturing you have come to expect from Rennline.
- Constructed from CNC machined aircraft grade billet aluminum
- Extended shift lever positioning shift knob closer to steering wheel for ultimate control
- Return-to-center shift lever action
- Featuring and all metal bushing design for a direct feel
- Mounts directly to transmission tunnel using supplied hardware
- Retains OEM shift coupler and other components for a bolt-in installation
- Available in Black or Silver anodized finish
- Aluminum shift knob included

- Porsche 911 1968-1973 2.2L / 2.4L / 2.7L RS LWB (F)

Fits 911 with the 901 gearbox
Comes With:
-Numeric Racing Shifter
-Numeric Racing Maintenance Free Shift Linkage
-Porsche Replacement Shift Rod Bushing
-Porsche Replacement Shift Lever Ball Socket (Part #: 91142413900)
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 sharpen the gearchange, modernise the driving feel and complement other performance upgrades.
Why do Porsche Short Gear Shift matter?
Short gear shift upgrades directly affect how your Porsche feels to drive on every journey. By shortening the throw of the gear lever and tightening up the linkage, they can transform the precision and speed of gearchanges, particularly on older models or cars used enthusiastically. Over time, original linkages can wear and feel loose, and updating them with a quality short shift kit helps restore control and connection while supporting long-term enjoyment of the car.
- Keep your Porsche looking smart rather than tired or neglected
- Help protect the surrounding area from dirt and corrosion where relevant
- Reduce minor niggles such as looseness, rattles or mismatched parts
- 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, play or age-related deterioration before it affects shift quality or leads to more expensive gearbox or linkage repairs later on.
- Existing parts are worn, cracked, scuffed, faded, corroded or missing
- You notice looseness, vibration or an untidy appearance around the area they sit in
- You have had related work carried out and want everything to look and feel consistent
- You want the car to feel smarter and better cared for in daily use or before resale
If any of these apply, it is a good time to review your short gear shift and replace anything that is past its best so your Porsche stays dependable and enjoyable to drive.
