Porscheshop in England said my shifter isn't Porsche. Partsheaven in
SF says it's the right shifter but a 92-94 might work. Porschapart
sent a parts diagram of a 964 unit, which is completely different to
mine and FAR more complicated. Now I'll have to wait and see what
Pelican Parts says...

Seems that guessing is right!

If I get the wrong shifter it probably won't work... the throws have
to be exactly right.

I certainly don't have the ability to make a shifter up. The 964 unit
has no obvious stop-plate or gate and at least there is a short-shift
kit available for it... from images of that I could probably get mine
modified locally.
