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.
Symptoms of a Worn Gearshift Mechanism
Replacing the gearshift assembly or fitting a short shift
kit can help resolve:
- Excessive gear lever movement.
- Long or vague gear changes.
- Worn gear lever pivot.
- Inconsistent gear engagement.
- Sloppy shift feel.
- Difficulty selecting gears accurately.
- Excessive wear in the original mechanism.
- Reduced driving confidence.
While a short shift kit cannot correct internal gearbox wear, it significantly improves the precision and feel of a healthy gear linkage system.
Benefits
- Faster and more precise gear changes.
- Improved driver engagement.
- Reduced shift throw by approximately 20%.
- More direct and responsive gear selection.
- Factory-quality fitment.
- Durable construction for long-term reliability.
- Enhances the driving experience without modifying the gearbox internally.
- Excellent value OE Match upgrade.
Installation Recommendations
For the best results, inspect or replace associated
gearshift and transmission components during installation, including:
- Gearshift bushes.
- Shift rod bushes.
- Shift coupler bushes.
- Gearshift housing bushes.
- Gear lever boot.
- Shift coupling.
- Gear linkage hardware.
- Gearbox and engine mounts.
Correct adjustment of the shift linkage after installation is essential to achieve smooth, accurate gear selection and maximise the benefits of the short shift kit.

OEMatch Gearshift Control Parts — Engagement, Smoothness, Control
OEMatch gearshift control parts are compatible replacements engineered to original-spec dimensions and tolerances — a practical option when genuine or OEM parts are unavailable. Designed for Porsche models, these components help restore precise shift control and reduce lever play for consistent operation.
Available Types
- Linkages and selector rods
- Shifter bushings and mounts
- Shift cables and terminations
- Selector mechanisms and forks
- Transmission-side mounts and brackets
Understanding OEMatch Gearshift Control Parts
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original gearshift control parts.
OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the gearshift control parts and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM gearshift control parts engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models.
OEMatch focuses on gearshift control parts-related items selected for Porsche applications and catalogs over 4,000 part numbers with more than 8,700 OE cross-references while developing further items to support Porsche vehicles.
Benefits Include
- Restores crisp, accurate gear selection and reduces unwanted play in the shifter
- Reduces vibration transmitted through the gearlever and improves tactile feedback
- Contributes to consistent engagement and can reduce wear on transmission components
Why Gearshift Control Parts Wear and Fail
- Worn bushings or linkage joints that introduce play in the mechanism
- Cable stretching, detachment or deterioration in cable-operated systems
- Cracked mounts, fatigued metal joints or misalignment from hard shifting
- Corrosion and contamination from moisture or road debris
The Importance of Replacing with OEMatch Gearshift Control Parts
Timely replacement of worn gearshift control parts maintains shift precision and reduces the risk of gearbox damage. During clutch or transmission servicing, renewing linkages, bushings or mounts helps preserve alignment and smooth operation. For Porsche models, correct components minimise the chance of secondary wear and preserve driving feel.
Advantages
- Direct-fit replacements engineered to match original dimensions and tolerances
- Selection focused on Porsche applications with extensive part cross-references to aid correct fitment
- Designed to restore shift feel and reduce long-term wear without altering gearbox layout
