My upstairs shower was occasionally dripping a little. A while back, I had fixed a similar problem with my downstairs shower by replacing the Price Pfister valve assembly and cartridge/pressure balance with a combo unit (part number 974-042). This was evidently the wrong part. Although it worked alright, it caused the handle and wall flange to stick out a bit. I think this was due to the fact that the shower is a pre-1997 unit (either model 08, 808, 0X8 or R89). According to this FAQ, the correct part numbers are actually 971-250 for the valve assembly and 974-291 for the cartridge/pressure balance.
So, I ordered the parts and replaced them. The shower appears to be working ok.
