Supplied complete with a replacement gearshift lever, this OE Match kit is manufactured to OE specifications for accurate fitment and dependable operation. By shortening the distance the gear lever travels between gears, the kit creates a more direct, responsive shift action, enhancing driver confidence whether you're enjoying spirited road driving, touring or a classic track day.
Ideal for restorations, performance upgrades or replacing worn original components, this short shift kit provides a factory-style solution with a noticeably sportier driving experience.
What Does a Short Shift Kit Do?
A short shift kit changes the pivot geometry of the gear lever to reduce the distance required to engage each gear.
Its primary functions include:
- Reduces gear lever travel by approximately 20%.
- Provides quicker gear changes.
- Improves shift precision.
- Delivers a more direct shift feel.
- Reduces unnecessary hand movement between gears.
- Enhances driver engagement.
- Maintains positive gear selection.
- Complements the character of the 915 manual gearbox.
Unlike modifications that alter the gearbox itself, a short shift kit improves the feel of the gear selection mechanism while preserving the original transmission.
Why Upgrade to a Short Shift Kit?
Many classic Porsche owners choose a short shift kit to improve driving enjoyment and refresh worn gear linkage components.
Common reasons for upgrading include:
- Desire for shorter gear changes.
- Worn original gearshift mechanism.
- Excessive shift travel.
- Gear lever replacement during restoration.
- Improving driving precision.
- Refreshing transmission linkage components.
- Performance-focused road use.
- Track day preparation.
A quality short shift kit modernises the shift feel while maintaining the authentic character of the classic Porsche driving experience.

OEMatch Short Gear Shift — Fit, Function, Confidence
OEMatch short gear shift parts for Porsche models provide components to refresh or modify the gear change mechanism, helping the car feel precise and consistent in everyday use and more focused driving.
- Individual short shifter and linkage components
- Complete short shift kits for targeted Porsche applications
- Related hardware and fittings to support correct assembly
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original short gear shift. OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the short gear shift and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM short gear shift engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models. Many owners search for genuine or OEM short gear shift; these are direct-fit alternatives designed to match the original form, fit and function.
- Components to address wear in the gear lever and linkage on Porsche models
- Options to adjust throw length and shift feel in line with driver preference
- Parts made to original-spec dimensions for consistent engagement
- Linkage joints and bushes gradually wear, increasing play at the lever
- High mileages and repeated shifts can loosen pivots and bearings
- Old or contaminated lubrication can accelerate wear in moving parts
Refreshing or upgrading short gear shift parts on a Porsche helps maintain a positive, accurate shift action, supporting confidence when changing gear and reducing the likelihood of harsh or untidy shifts that can place extra stress on the drivetrain.
- Helps keep the gear change feeling tight and predictable
- Supports smooth engagement when combined with a healthy clutch and gearbox
- Allows the shift action to match other performance or chassis upgrades
If you are considering work on the gear shift mechanism of your Porsche, OEMatch short gear shift components are compatible replacements engineered to original-spec dimensions and tolerances — a practical option when genuine or OEM parts are unavailable.
