Testing Testing 123 Shift....
Howdy 
I have been testing the prototype of the Agency Power 996 Shift Linkage. This is the piece that replaces the flimsy and soft shift arm that moves up and down. The one that would break down, wear out, or give you slop in shifting. You usually bang through the gears hard up and down, not side to side...
I am running this in combination with a B&M shifter and the throw is short, stiff, and into gear perfect everytime.
I just wanted to give you a sneak peak as production is coming soon. I also wanted to get feedback of those that are using others parts on the market and their impression.
MSRP will be about $90 and the will be Gold bodies with machined connecting rod.
Thanks
Dan!

Good Question
Due to the way the piece is made, there is really a limit on how you can fit it and design it. Our piece is full CNC Machined 6061 aluminum The dowel is also aluminum and all hardware is full stainless steel. It will be anodized as well. Our piece will retail $50 less then theres.

By the way--has anyone thought of making a shift gate for the 996 that is similar to the Ferrari gate? I would bet that a billet aluminum or similar look would be very popular. I for one would be happy to drop some bucks for this mod...

As long as we are coming up with our fabricated mods wish list . . . what about making some shifting paddles for the tiptronic selectors on the the steering wheel? What do you guys think - Good, bad, or just ugly?

Aluminium Radiator(s)? 2 or 3?
last time i checked bleeding the coolent system was a major job-
not to mention weight needs to be reduced from the rear - were talking 1-2 Kilos (in the front) with a redesigned radiator system.
Needs to be more effecient in cooling with 2 to be worth it - IMHO
