Product details
Our OEM+ weighted shifter for the 996, 997, and 987 replaces the one component you touch on every drive. A 550g aluminum and stainless steel core adds real mass in hand, sitting 1" lower than stock for a more direct, connected feel. The steel clamp-on adapter locks on with zero play — no wobble, no slop, just the mechanical feel these cars always deserved.

Newfound inertia is addicting
“The newfound inertia is the best part. The knob's mass just glides it from gate to gate. It feels so much smoother.”
Not a knob, it's a weighted instrument
“not a knob; it's a weighted instrument. It makes you feel so much more connected to the transmission. A true tactile joy.”
Perforated leather + 540g = perfection
“I got the perforated leather with black stitching. The grip is fantastic, and the 540g of weight underneath makes every shift feel amazing.”
A 10-minute install to fix a 20-year-old problem
“I'm not joking. It took 10 minutes to install this in my 997. It fixed a 20-year-old complaint. The factory boot fits perfectly.”
The only knob to consider for a 997
“I looked everywhere. the ONLY knob to consider for a 997. The fit, finish, and rock-solid clamp-on design are in a league of their own.”
My 987 cayman feels like a different car
“My 987 Cayman is my favorite car, but the shifter felt like an afterthought. This knob has transformed the driving experience.”
6-speed engraving looks flawless
“I was worried the 6-speed engraving would look aftermarket. It's perfect. It's crisp, clean, and illuminates just like the original.”
Hollow feel is 100% gone
“The worst part of my 987 was the hollow, 73g plastic shifter. This knob fixes that completely. The difference in substance is staggering.”
Completely modernized my 997's interior
“The stock 997 shifter was the most dated part of my interior. This single piece has completely modernized the cockpit.”
My 996 finally has a rifle-bolt shift
“My 996's shifter always felt vague. This 540g knob gives it a true rifle-bolt feel. The shifter now thunks into gear.”
Stop debating, this is the answer.
“I spent six months reading forums and debating this. Stop. It's the best money you will ever spend on your 996/997/987.”
That 540g of mass makes all the difference
“You read 540g but you can't understand it until you feel. The sheer mass plows through the gates. It's an incredible feeling.”
Steel clamp-on adapter is genius
“The problem with 996 shifters is the connection. This steel clamp-on adapter is genius. It's rock-solid, with absolutely zero play or wobble.”
Single best mod for a 997
“, without question, the single best upgrade for a 997 manual. The 540g of purpose and the perforated leather are a perfect combo.”
! a premium shifter for the 996
“Finally! A premium, weighted shifter that's a direct-fit for the 996. It looks factory, but feels like a high-end race part.”
