Good morning everyone,anyone using a Boxster cable shifter or other similar?
My engine swap won't allow the use of stock shift linkage.
Thx,,,

I'm using a shifter from a Boxster with my Subaru 5MT transmission swap.

The good news about the Boxster shifter is that the cables exit towards the rear. The down-side is that the attachment for the "in and out" action of the suby 5MT shift rod is below the pivot point on the shift lever. This requires a extra pivot in your cable linkage set-up if you want to have the standard H-pattern shifting.

The toyota MR2 shifter has the in-out cable attachment above the shifter pivot, so shift lever motion is proportional to cable push-pull. I found that the boxster shift levers were easier to come by and a little better quality than the MR2 shift levers. I can provide pictures of my setup if this is the info you are looking for.
