Is this an easy swap or a potential nightmare?
According to the Porsche online parts catalog both the long and short versions share the same part numbers for the gasket, shaft oil seal and bushing. That would "seem" to indicate they can just be easily swapped (and then the shifter shaft shortened to match).
But, in the parts diagram, the long cover has a parts assembly that the short cover does not have (see parts 39 through 44 in the diagram below). Does anyone know what function these parts have, and perhaps more importantly, does the lack of those parts in the short cover preclude swapping them?
Has anyone done this conversion?
Thanks all for your help.
