- These are not short shift kits - the kits replace the major pivot points of the OEM shifter to eliminate flex and play from the shifter unit.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

SHIFT-RIGHT Solution Upgraded OEM 986/996 and 987/997 standard throw shifters The Core Exchange program for the SHIFT-RIGHT Solution is no longer being offered, so we're selling our inventory of standard throw 986/996 and 987/997 shifters. The shifter units have already been upgraded with the ball bearing SHIFT-RIGHT retrofit kit for a drop-in installation. No need to send your old shifters back - this is an outright purchase - sell your existing shifter or keep it for when you sell your car in stock form. PRICING... 996 shifter: $295 + $75 = $370 + S/H 997 shifter: $295 + $150 = $445 + S/H The 996 shifter has a shifter throw length identical to the motorsports Cup shifter. The 997 shifter has a 15% reduced throw compared to the 996 unit. Please PM or email if interested in taking advantage of this limited inventory offer.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just to clarify on a couple points, since some folks have been asking... - These are not short shift kits - the kits replace the major pivot points of the OEM shifter to eliminate flex and play from the shifter unit. - The SHIFT-RIGHT Solution is not being discontinued!!! Going forward it will only be available as the Retrofit Kit. The reason we're selling the completed units is we will no longer be needing them for the discontinued Core Exchange program. This is your last chance to purchase a pre-installed SHIFT-RIGHT kit! Here are some customer reviews for the SHIFT-RIGHT Solution ... CS-ICEMAN : I took mine to COTA a couple weekends ago. Worked wonders. No trouble finding the gears. Yes, downshifting to 2nd was easy. No longer a concern about a misshift. I did not have to think about shifting. My hands were moving faster than my feet. I was shifting as fast as I could press the clutch. intubator : I have to say it made a significant difference in positive gear selection and smoothness in shifting between gears over what I had. In fact, I didn't realize the degree of drag I had become used to until I installed this kit with the roller bearings. The F1st bearing yoke is much better than the cheap plastic factory part and adds significantly to the smoothness and accuracy in the left/right gear selection movements, looks better too... I don't have the console on my car so everything is visible along the tunnel. I have been very happy with this upgrade and have done several track days with a greater degree of confidence while shifting between gears. I couldn't be happier. husker boxster : I'm happy to report the 5-4-3-2 downshift for T12 at COTA went very well. Happy with the solid feel and lack of sloppiness . BillZ260 : Highly recommend, whether you have a stock shifter or a short shift kit, it removed all the slop in the pivots and transfer mechanisms. I think it actually helps the 2-3 shift smoothness as well where it used to hang up if you tried to force it too quickly before, maybe since there is ZERO play now, it's just straight shooting. Very satisfied. eracer : Just vouching for the product. I installed the Function First "Shift-Right Solution" Ball bearing kit in my 996T and was impressed with the product. It was installed in conjunction with the factory short shifter replacing the plastic bearings. The 'play'/'slop' in the shifter was reduced drastically and the shifting feels more tactile and precise. No more accidental shifting into the other gears . I'd definitely recommend this product to upgrade the driving experience. ( Porsche should have designed it this way to begin with .)

Only 2 of each configuration left in stock!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

We have 1 completed 997 shifter left in stock - that's a 15% shift throw reduction AND ball bearing pivots. Plus, I'll extend our current 10% OFF deal on this, just shoot me a PM and I'll send over an invoice, thru Dec 3. The retrofit kits are currently out of stock, but we'll be fully stocked by mid-December! Order by December 3 for 10% OFF the SHIFT-RIGHT Solution , and all other FFP products!!! http://www.function-first.com/products/996

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The completed 997 shifter is now sold. Install time on the kits is appx 1-1.5 hrs. (The bulk of the time is disassembling the shifter to get to the shifter unit.) Retrofit Kits are still 10% OFF thru the end of today! They'll be back in stock December 15 - order by then, and we'll ship yours out promptly!
