There are two options open to you.

1. Fit the later 987/997 gear lever unit, this has around 20 % less throw than the 986/996 unit and will not exhibit the stiffness seen on the short shift when cold. If you buy a used item make sure you also buy the cheap lock bridge clip to align the lever when refitting. The porsche dealer can supply these for a couple of pounds.

2. Fit the porsche or copy short shift kit. This reduces the throw by around 30 % but can be stiff in operation when the gearbox is cold. Look on E bay for the EBM unit for around 50 pounds. Requires you to cut off the existing plastic bushed on the shift mechanism so its not possible to go back to standard. To fit it correctly you need to mark the position of the gear cables before disconnecting.
