Description
The IRP Short Shifter completely reimagines the Boxter’s shifting ergonomics. By replacing the entire OEM assembly with a high-strength, chassis-mounted aluminium mechanism, this kit transforms your Cayman’s 6-speed transmission into a high-precision instrument. With an aggressive 60% reduction in shift throw, it delivers the ultimate "rifle-bolt" tactile response - making it an absolute must-have for track days, and spirited backroad driving.
What is a short shifter?
A short-throw shifter reduces the distance between gear changes to deliver faster, more precise, and sportier shifts. Its taller design shortens travel from the steering wheel to the knob, enabling quicker gear changes. It ranks among the most effective upgrades for both race and street cars. Providing drivers with sharper feedback, better control, greater confidence behind the wheel, and an authentic, connected driving experience that makes you feel one with your car.
- Up to 60% reduction in throw. Drastically shortens the front-to-back shift distance, keeping your hands on the wheel.
- Reverse gear lockout. A mechanical reverse lockout button or pull-ring prevents accidental engagement during aggressive downshifts.
- Ergonomic height. Features a taller lever architecture that positions the shift knob closer to the steering wheel, drastically shortening the time your hand spends moving between steering and shifting.
- Premium engineered construction. CNC-machined from high-grade aluminium, ensuring maximum structual rigidity.
- Direct installation. Fits original gearbox mounting; full bolt-on package for easy DIY installation.
- H-Pattern compatibility. Retains OEM gearbox function.
- Fully adapted. Works with OEM shift cables for seamless operation.
