I grabbed 6th instead of 4th at my last track day which cost me a definite PB. I know this shifter upgrade would have avoided this, yet it sits in its original packaging on the floor in my bedroom. I wish you had the core exchange for OS customers but can understand why it's not an option! Need to get off my butt and fit this!

Install is straightforward if you follow the instructions. It takes more time to disassemble and reassemble the interior than to install the retorofit.

Any issues at all, please reach out. Thanks, and please let us know once installed and you have some seat time!

Thanks Luca, I will have a crack at it this week hopefully. Will be sure to post feedback (I'm sure positive) once I have it.

There's two 986/996 core exchange units left in stock.

The retrofit kits are in stock, but we're currently out of the 986/996 cores - they should be ready to ship next week. Place your order TODAY to secure FREE SHIPPING!!!

Here are some before and after comparisons of the shifter mechanism, pre and post SHIFT-RIGHT Solution installation!

(Note that the BEFORE video is the stock shifter out of a 2001 986 Boxster S, and the AFTER videos are of a SHIFT-RIGHT retrofit kit upgraded factory 987/997 short shift kit. It's still an apples-to-apples comparison, since both units utilize the same bushings from the factory.)


BEFORE...
Excessive shifter play and slop, particularly in the fore/aft bushings.





AFTER...
Zero flex and zero play in the mechanism yields smooth, solid, predictable, and consistent shifter action.
