Talk to John Gaydos at Soul Performance! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Guess who broke his factory shifter cables and is using your installation video to install my numeric cables ; )
John Gaydos Ladies and gentlemen I present to you the cream of the crop, the one and only, Mr. John Gaydos!!! ***fanfare***. You can hear me do his name drop at 25:55. 😂
Haha John mine just broke too! using this excellent video for the same reason!
Thank you for this detailed video. I used this video to put in the modified shift cable, transmission bracket and shift bracket on transmission (where shift link connects to)- all genuine 2011 porsche cayman parts. This was an excellent step by step video. Anyone thinking of doing this, I would highly recommend going with Numeric, even the modified cable from porsche sucks as it's held on by the plastic clips like the original which promptly slides off after a 100 miles, good thing I checked, tried it on the old bracket and it was sliding off too. So ended up drilling a few holes in the trans mount bracket and tying it with stainless steel safety cable.
Thank you for the great feedback and extra tips for other viewers. I agree that if you’re going to do the work to put in new cables, just try to spend the extra money and put in Numeric. They are very well built with high quality parts and super sturdy. Plus, the feel of the cables is bar none. Really appreciate your comment and insight for other builders🤟🏻🔥
Thanks guys for posting. Definitely help for when I did mine. To help out with the job I removed the PAX seat. I did start the car without the electrical cable attached so ended up setting off the airbag light you mentioned. I was able to reset with my Foxwell OBD tool
Glad we could help! Ya, I’m convinced now you have to have an OBD if you’re going to work on your own car. It’s a life savor and worth every penny. Ours is a durametric designed for Porsche. We’ve saved so much money with it that it’s pretty much paid for itself and then some! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great video...convinced me to have my shop, Rob @ Abacus Racing, Virginia Beach, do the install. They did a great job, 5 hours.
The kit is superb. Special Thanks to John Gaydos at Soul PP and the folks at Numeric for a sublime product.
Hey this is Dan at Numeric Racing. Great install video one of my customers told me about. John Gaydos to be exact. I'm going to put it on the website if that is OK with you. Let me know and really nice job.
Daniel Geberth Thank you!!! Yes, we’re excited to have the video on your website and it will hopefully help more people! We are loving your products and really appreciate your support!
Mine is on the way for my 06 S. It's funny when I had the transaxle out to put a IMS oiler in I thought the cables would be a PITA. But I can't wait to feel crisp shifts
it’ll be amazing when you do! enjoy!
awesome video guys. I just bought the numeric shifter bundle for my Cayman S. I’m going to attempt the install next week. Your video is very concise and helpful, I think I can do this install myself.
That’s awesome! Let us know how it goes! If you get in a bind, don’t be afraid to leave a comment or just DM us on Instagram @norcal987. Good luck!
Good job guys, I enjoyed watching you guys struggle lol you make it easier for me lol Thank you!
Clint Hightower That’s why we do these videos! To try and help other people from the struggles we dealt with. Hahaha. True story. Thanks for the comments!
Excellent diy video. Keep this posted cause im sure my 987 boxster cables will go one day and ill need this video to reference. Thanks!!
Dan DeLuca Thank you very much for the support! It’ll be here forever to refer back to! 🤘🏻🔥
I not a big car fix-it guy but I just changed out for a Numeric shifter and cables, 3 hours to take everything apart and 4 to put everything back. the most difficult part was the driver side connection on the transmission, it's just hard to see and get to. Great videos from norcal987 I like your style...thanks
david Zawistowski glad it worked out! Appreciate the good words and support! 🤘🏻🔥
Incredibly helpful video guys! Thanks so much. One word of advice: At 9:00 removing of the side black panels is discussed. If you tilt the bottom of the panels out first or too far you may crack one of the 3 plastic support tabs. The path of removal should really be straight back toward the rear of the car. Of the 3 tabs the top ones (as seen at 8:50) do like to hang up. I was able to use a plastic trim tool to help pry out the right and left panels as I pulled backward. Thanks again.
Alex Cassinelli Thank you for the awesome comment! Really appreciate the great tip!
nice work thanks for posting this will attempt this on a 997 soon.
Jay Persaud Thank you for the comment! We love the 997’s! If you run into any issues, let us know. We’ll do what we can to help!
I finished this project today on my own and I owe it to this video and your help Michael
A minor hiccup I ran into was with reinstalling my handbrake. I made the mistake of not engaging the handbrake before disassembling everything so reattaching the ebrake cable was difficult because I didn’t have much slack in the lines to be able to move the assembly forward enough into its correct position. If anyone runs into this, just depress the handbrake as far down as possible and this will relieve any tension in the spring and will allow you to get enough reach from the ebrake cables to be able to slide the handbrake assembly forward enough to its mounting point
Awesome! Thank you for the additional tip! Maybe it’ll only take a couple hours for the next guy to finish the job now!😂🤣.
Nice video guys and shows the work from start to finish. I'm based in the UK and Numeric has only started to distribute their products here. My shifter cables snapped while I was driving and I had to get Porsche to replace mine ASAP. Would have liked to have done Numeric!
MAX REVS Thank you very much for the awesome comment and support! The Numeric cables are constructed extremely well and the action in them is spot on. I truly believe they will outlast the car. Thanks again!🙏
Very useful, thank you. The bit at about 25 mins in was just what I needed to see to be able to manually get my Boxster out of 3rd gear into neutral so that I can move it in the driveway. I’m going to let my Porsche indie do the actual work though 😄
Glad we could help! 🤟🏻🔥
Wow you guys should do more videos on the Cayman. Very detailed love it!!!!! Like maybe coil overs!!!
vizi0123 Thank you! We will have an update video on the status of our Cayman coming soon!
My ‘new to me’ 2007 Boxster (2.7) with just about 100k will have to get this soon. I guess I need a challenge and this may be it.
It’s definitely the first mod you should do! hmmmm, i think we’ve mentioned that somewhere. 😂. Enjoy the car and if you have any questions about it, DM me @norcal987. more that happy to help🤟🏻🔥
Top video fellas..really well explained
Thank you!!!
Getting closer and closer to doing this too guys!
Troy Salas You’re going to love it! If you want a more detailed review of it after installation, check out my review video!
Certainly some nice insurance for that potential stranding due to broken shift cables. That shifting assembly looks so cool I'll be tempted to leave the boot off the shifter when I do this upgrade.
we thought about keeping the boot off, but we’re afraid that our McDonalds fries would get in there and make a mess😂🤟🏻🔥
"We will get to cuss our way through this one" finally truth in advertising.
James Holloway Right?! 😂🤣😂🤣. Thank you for the comment! Made our day with a good laugh! 🤟🏻🔥
Should have pulled a string when you removed the old cable then use the string to help pull the new cable.
Clint Hightower Pretty good idea! It wasn’t really too difficult to run the cables though. The hardest part was just getting the cable off the linkage and then using those little plastic caps to put the cables back on the linkage. 😂
@@norcal9874 Just finished installing the Function-First shift kit, Love it! Will replace the cables once they get here, ordered them today :) Thanks again guys, good job!
Clint Hightower Hells yes!!! Keep us up to date! Glad we could help👍🏻
nice work. I think I need this done to my boxster. it's feeling extra loose
Jerms DNA Thank you! It really does make a huge difference! Check out our review on it, if you haven’t already! Thank you for the positive comment! 🔥🤘🏻
@@norcal9874 Will DO!
Another great video. I did the numeric cables about 3 years ago. I just relived that nightmare 🤣🤣
Did you lube the cables? Wish this video was out when I did mine. I also had a shift alignment tool. I had problems with reverse not engaging. Tool worked great. Thanks for the video. Binge watching your channel during snovid here in north texas🙄🙄
No lube used. Thank you for watching our videos!!! Really appreciate it!🤘🏻🔥
most importantly, this is a cayman with the BOSE stereo option. that is why the passenger's side footwell contains a huge BOSE sub-woofer unit that needs to be removed in order to expose a screw or two. i suspect that if the BOSE option is not present the screws may be exposed earlier in the process.
it should be noted that if the top most hole in the shift rod is used (shortest shifting position) cutting the carpet may not be necessary. it wasn't on my cayman (2007 2.7l) base model.
those two metal clips that they popped out and involved makeshift usage of the torx bit and a magnet? well, they will become exposed as a matter of course if the front of the console is disassembled first. it will become evident when removing the long u-shaped metal trim (it's acutally two pieces) strip that blocks the shifter surround piece that covers them. evident upon re-assembly. IOW, start at the front, under the dash and work backwards (for the most part) from the way the video portrays dis-assembly.
ya, it works the way it's shown, afterall that's how i did it... :)
it’s so cool that you not only watched the video, you applied what we figured out, and better yet, found a couple differences and tricks to make it easier! that really makes us happy! this is what is so awesome about youtube. we really appreciate your new info and sharing your knowledge! Thank you! 🤟🏻🔥
Def. a bit pricey, but you definitely get a nice result with the numeric setup.
Finally was able to install this, it sure if I did it right but 1st and 3rd is a long throw but 5th is really short. Have you noticed it?
Yes, when I was first getting the shifter dialed in. I had to make the adjustment where the linkage connects to the shifter. Go to 28:45 in the video. You might need to move your shifter position a little bit. I know it’s a pain in the butt to get back in there, but I think that might be your culprit. I mention the long throw when I first put it in at 30:10.
Awesome video, i watched it like 10 times. I just received my package few weeks ago and opened the box today and noticed one of the linkage stud on the transmission side is slightly bent. Is thay intentional? I messaged Numeric asking the same question and i thought i will check with you guys too. Also, how do you know which cables goes on driver side and passenger side? Thank you again for the awesome video.
Thank you for the great compliment! Transmission linkage: I’m a little confused by what linkage you are referring too. is the shifter linkage bent or the linkage that’s connected to the transmission itself. if it’s the transmission itself, I think i recall a slight bend in the transmission linkage. Possibly normal. Only way to find out is installing the cables i guess. 😂. Cable Length: I believe the shorter cable goes on the passenger side because it will be a shorter distance from the shifter to the transmission linkage. If it’s not. no big deal, just swap them around. Just make sure you replace each cable to the correct side of the shifter linkage and correct side of transmission. i hope this helps, if not, just message me back on here or our DM us on our Instagram account: norcal987. cheers! 🤟🏻🔥
Where did you get the alcantara shift lever and boot cover ? I want one !
dodgethehell Came with the car. 😂 Thank you for subscribing!
Hi there, I've got a Cayman R I am in UK and just bought the short shift kit- i've had all sorts of issues with getting them to UK but finally they're being shipped out today BUT- they tell me that they can't find the wrench - i've asked D Wray who mentions your video too in his but both of you talk about the wrench i just wondered if I absolutely had to try and find a wrench to use on this elsewhere like a bike shop or something I could maybe find one. Do you know the wrench size ? Any help would be amazing!
Mark T It’s a 30mm bulk head wrench. I don’t know if you absolutely have to have it, but it will definitely make the job easier with less headache. Shoot me a DM on Instagram (@norcal987) and I’ll send you a couple pics of what it looks like. You might already have something close to it or be able to find one near you. 🤘🏻🔥
Just fitted my shifter and cables, having a problem with second gear really sticky.
could be a couple things: 1)Check nut adjustment on transmission linkage (26:02). 2)You might need to adjust the shifter length on the cables (28:54). 3)Or there could be some extra tension or something pushing on the cable when routing your cables. ie: going around the bend from the top of your engine, down to the transmission. I would check for this first. Beyond that, you might give Numeric a call. They are super helpful.
Trying the re route option, or new brackets, still not good on the second gear
Not engaging properly
Don’t want to strip the synchromesh.
Is there a clip that needs to be engaged to remove the cable from the bracket on the transmission side, or is it supposed to just slide off?
Ram Vennam It should slide off. You want to pull the cable straight off. Pull straight back toward the side of the car. Kinda like if you were pulling a tire off.
norcal987 Thanks for the reply and the video! I laid down directly underneath, put a hand on each side of the cable and was able to pop it out!
Ram Vennam Great to hear! You’re gonna love those cables! Thanks for watching! 🤘🏻🔥
How much do you guys charge to install?
Minh Chung Lol. This is a project car for us. We don’t do this professionally. Just a father and son with some tools and no fear. Just for fun👍🏻. Bet hey, for the right price, we might consider putting yours in 😂
norcal987 yeah when you guys mentioned it took a full day I’m now hesitant to do it myself 😰
@@minhsworld It an easy install to do. I can do it in a few hours. If you can change your brakes and oil you can do the install.
Hurts to watch. But thanks for posting for others know what not to do.
tell me about it! lol 🤘🏻🔥
I wish I could do this but I am too much of a pus pus
ain’t for the faint of heart. but, with basic tools, common sense, confidence, and a little know how…you’ll be fine. plus, our video and a couple others videos out there will walk you through all the steps. a life without facing fear and challenges is a boring life. you got this. 🤘🏻🔥
