I am just pulling together a shopping list for an overhaul of my gear control mechanisims and spotted the item below on the Design 911 site.
Does anyone here have any experience of this item? I can't see any evidence that my cables have ever been replaced, so its preventative maintenance more that anything else. But this item caught my eye as I haven't ever heard that cables coming adrift might be a potential problem

GEAR SHIFT CABLE SECURITY CLAMPS PORSCHE 996
Code: TRSSSC996
Have you ever been stranded on the side of the road, or stuck in the pits because of a broken shift linkage on your transmission? The rear shift linkage on your Porsche is a weak point and the plastic coupling that holds itself to the transmission selector becomes very brittle and breaks, causing the cables to come off from the transmission. This leaves you stranded in whatever gear you may be in and has also caused problems for many people at the track as well, ruining their day.
These TRS shift linkage security clips ensure that the cables will not come off of the selector. Straight forward and easy installation.
