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.
