Default CLASSIC SHIFT **** - Delrin/Aluminum

Hey guys, just wanted to share my new shift **** design with you...

CLASSIC SHIFT ****


Classic ball ****, with a slight cutout around the equator for added grip - comes in either anodized aluminum or Delrin.

It's available in Standard height (comparable to stock), or in the Extended height version to raise the **** 1.5 to 2-inches - ideal for use with a short shifter. (Personally, I find the Porsche short shifter throws a little too short for my liking, and requiring a hair too much effort. The raised **** smooths the throws out, and I like having the **** located closer to the steering wheel.)

With the Standard base, both set screws are hidden from view. With the Extended base, a single set screw is visible on the right side of the shaft. And as you can see from the pic, several color and material combinations are available.


Here are some pictures showing the CSK - Extended version (Silver base / Black Delrin ****) - installed in my 996, with the Console Riser Kit. In that configuration the shifter is up high and close to the steering wheel, yielding some quick shifts!





And I'm now offering the option for shift pattern engraving - the product page has been updated accordingly:
http://www.function-first.com/produc...sic-shift-****

If interested, please place your order by Sunday, June 14 - I require a minimum of 10 ***** for the engraving job to be completed by the machine shop, and I'd like to get these finished for you guys and shipped out ASAP!

Please don't hesitate to PM/email/post if you have any questions. Thanks!

Thanks everyone!

And just as a reminder, today is the last day to order a CLASSIC SHIFT **** to be included in the first round of shift pattern engravings!

All orders placed by today will be sent to the machine shop tomorrow for the patterns to be done this week.


Any questions, please don't hesitate to email or PM. Thanks!

Got mine in and installed the other. Thing rules. Only thing maybe if possible to make it weighted?

Thanks though!

has anyone had any issues with the shift boot not fitting on the new ****? mine is very tight and pops off the console when trying to shift. i feel the shifter base is as far down as it will go and folding the boot as high as possible

Can you send me a pic of your setup and where you cut the boot off of the OEM shift ****? In which gears is the boot stretching the most?

I have the standard **** mounted with my stock 996 integrated shift boot (cut off) with no issues getting to any of the gears, and that's with a stock longer throw shifter.

got your email and replied. i forgot to mention i might add a allen like the shaft on the ball. when you have the shift pattern its a major pain to get it tight and in the proper position! an allen would make it much easier

i do like it !! it has the right feel and size fitment. huge improvement over stock

Is this the standard height? Still happy with it? Looks great. The 996 needs all the interior upgrades it can get as standard is a little ugly. Got to be functional too though.

Any other feedback about fitment, quality and shift feel?

The Classic Shift **** upgrade is definitely functional!!!

The OEM 996 shift **** is rubber wrapped in leather - grab it and twist it around to see how much it flexes. The upgrade I offer bolts directly onto the shifter shaft - so no more play from the shift ****, just nice and direct shift feel.

The picture above is the Extended height version. That will increase the shifter throw, so I prefer it in tandem with a short shift kit. Fitment is custom tailored for the Porsche rectangular shifter, as seen in the below pic. And with the Standard height version, both set screws are hidden from view.
