Suggestion

Like the cable ends, the Shift Right Solution replaces soft materials with more rigid materials to achieve a more precise, rifle-bolt feel when running through the gears.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

Back in the fall, I was an early adopter and replaced my shifter cable ends with the Aluminum and Delrin cable ends from Function First. This modification removed all of the softness and vagueness of the factory cable ends. It was a real tactile difference that was immediately noticeable. Having driven the car for a couple of months with the new cable ends, I'm very comfortable with the money I spent because the difference is something I get to enjoy every time I drive my Boxster . During the 2017 holidays, Function First ran a special on their Shift Right Solution kit. Like the cable ends, the Shift Right Solution replaces soft materials with more rigid materials to achieve a more precise, rifle-bolt feel when running through the gears. The Shift Right Solution parts eliminated the slop from my shifter, and actually made my shift action feel smoother and lighter (which I was not expecting). Now that I have both products installed and have spent a few months enjoying them, I'm confident reporting that my Boxster now shifts the way I believe it should have from the factory. I arrived at my Boxster having owned three Miatas (a 93, a 99, and an 06') and a first gen S2000 . Those cars really set the standard for what I believe to be great feeling shifters. With the Function First cable ends and the Shift Right Solution, I believe my Boxster shifter is pretty close to the shift action of the Miatas and S2000 from my past, which is saying a lot about a cable actuated shifter. My thanks to function First for making a series of products that appealed to me personally, and for including clear and comprehensive instructions. Mike Smith Alpharetta, GA

Good review - thanks for speaking up SilentMike This is the way I'm going to go too.

POST 3Original post

Curious how the Function First cable-joint modification has held up over the time you've had it. I've been considering doing that modification and maybe the Numeric shifter . When my original cable snapped in 2016, we used Porsche 's updated bracket and cable setup, which had the same feel & sound as original.
