If it is just the ends, you might be able to replace the ends, they sell those and you can check out the prices on their website.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

A little birdie told me that function first will be releasing 986 and 987 shifter cables of the same quality and design as their 996 and 997 cables. I have been holding out getting numeric as apparently the FF cables are functional equivalent but insulated, so without the NVH. Not a plug. Not associated with FF.

POST 2Original post

I'd have two questions (at least to start with): Price, of course. The design of the sheaths at the tranny end. My originals are cracking and breaking apart. And held together by vinyl tape at the moment.

If it is just the ends, you might be able to replace the ends, they sell those and you can check out the prices on their website. You can contact them too and ask. If you can’t wait. The numeric shift cables are a really highly regarded upgrade - both street and track. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

POST 4Original post

The Function First cables for the 986 are now available for pre-order. Shipments begin March 2026. They cost about the same as the Numeric. Who wants to be first?
