Comprehensive Shifting Solutions for your Porsche.
Just vouching for the product. I installed the Function First "Shift-Right Solution" Ball bearing kit in my 996T and was impressed with the product. It was installed in conjunction with the factory short shifter replacing the plastic bearings. The 'play'/'slop' in the shifter was reduced drastically and the shifting feels more tactile and precise. No more accidental shifting into the other gears.
The product arrived nicely packaged and the directions are straight forward. The hardest part of the install for me was trying to remove the center console to access the shifter.
I'd definitely recommend this product to upgrade the driving experience. (Porsche should have designed it this way to begin with.)
So since posting this, I've been getting a lot of questions via PM and email about the kit - what it does, how it does it, how good it is etc. So I've compiled a little FAQ to help answer those questions...
Q: Is this the best shifter upgrade value for my Porsche?
A: YES! No other shifter upgrade on the market matches the performance and durability of the SHIFT-RIGHT Solution for under $300. You will completely transform your shifter’s feel and accuracy, resulting in fewer missed shifts, smoother and more direct operation, and zero flex or play from the shifter.
Q: I already have your other upgrades and/or I only want the SHIFT-RIGHT Solution, can you offer me a discount?
A: YES! Now until May 31, 2016, I’m including FREE SHIPPING worldwide, in addition to the original sale offer.
Q: Is the SHIFT-RIGHT Solution a short shift kit?
A: No, the kit utilizes your original shift lever, so the shift throw remains unchanged.
Q: I like the kit, but I’m a little intimidated about installing it myself. What can you do for me?
A: We just rolled out a core-exchange program for 986/996 and 987/997 standard throw shifters! For an additional fee, you’ll receive an OEM shifter with the SHIFT-RIGHT Solution pre-installed that makes install plug and play – just send back your original shifter within 2 weeks of receipt to receive your core deposit refund. And best of all, a return shipping label is included to make the process that much easier! (USA customers only)
Q: What have other owners been saying about the SHIFT-RIGHT Solution?
A: Here are some owner reviews, in their own words…
CS-ICEMAN:
I took mine to COTA a couple weekends ago. Worked wonders. No trouble finding the gears. Yes, downshifting to 2nd was easy. No longer a concern about a misshift. I did not have to think about shifting. My hands were moving faster than my feet. I was shifting as fast as I could press the clutch.
intubator:
I have to say it made a significant difference in positive gear selection and smoothness in shifting between gears over what I had. In fact, I didn't realize the degree of drag I had become used to until I installed this kit with the roller bearings. The F1st bearing yoke is much better than the cheap plastic factory part and adds significantly to the smoothness and accuracy in the left/right gear selection movements, looks better too... I don't have the console on my car so everything is visible along the tunnel. I have been very happy with this upgrade and have done several track days with a greater degree of confidence while shifting between gears. I couldn't be happier.
husker boxster:
I'm happy to report the 5-4-3-2 downshift for T12 at COTA went very well. Has happy with the solid feel and lack of sloppiness.
BillZ260:
Highly recommend, whether you have a stock shifter or a short shift kit, it removed all the slop in the pivots and transfer mechanisms. I think it actually helps the 2-3 shift smoothness as well where it used to hang up if you tried to force it too quickly before, maybe since there is ZERO play now, it's just straight shooting. Very satisfied.

Can I send you my own shifter (with aftermarket short shift kit) for you to install? I don't see that as an option under the core exchange program. Thanks!

Absolutely! I've done this for a few customers that have had a spare shifter unit or had their cars apart. Price will be the "CORE EXCHANGE" rate, less the deposit amount. Please email or PM to arrange for this.
There's two 986/996 core exchange units left in stock. The 987/997 core exchange units will be back within a couple weeks, but you can place your order now to reserve a spot and secure your savings!
Retrofit kits are in stock!
There's only 1 987/997 core unit in stock as of right now, and it's ready to ship!

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.
