Lackluster gear shift performance on many stock Porsches can be attributed to the cheap plastic bushings and pivot connections utilised in the shifter assembly.  Because these bushings require loose tolerances and free play to not bind, they generate sloppy shifter feel.  Moreover, their plastic and rubber construction flexes excessively which causes spongy gear engagement, especially on cars that have accumulated wear and tear over the years.

The Shift-Right solution replaces these plastic bushings with ball bearings, eliminating the flex and excess play that normally plagues the stock setup.  As a result, shifter feel is sharpened and gears engage with certainty.

The Retrofit Kit is comprised of custom machined aluminum pieces and heavy-duty ball bearings to entirely upgrade the factory shifter assembly.  Additionally, the tightly toleranced shifter yoke tightens up lateral shifter action.  

The OEM cradle and gear lever are retained with this setup so that your shifter throw remains unchanged and the factory fit is preserved.

Compatible with the OEM shift knob and all OEM shifter units for 986 / 996 / 987 / 997

Product Description

Is your gear change feeling a little sloppy or maybe your gear cables pop off at the transmission end? 

That’s why we developed these shifter cable retainers. The stock shifter cables tend to wear, which causes slop in the shifter and in the worst cases pop off the transmission during heavy use. This shifter cable retainer will keep your cable ends in place and give you peace of mind that your cables will NEVER pop off again. 

Our goal is to offer a cost effective repair to save your expensive cables and offer a safety element to your Porsche.

The OEM shifter cables use large rubber ends to isolate the shifter from the transmission. These soak up your effort and numb the feedback and directness required for optimal shifting performance. The resultant sloppy gear engagement leaves the driver questioning if the desired gear is fully engaged. 

This also leads to over-extension and stressing of the cables as the shift lever is pulled beyond the limit. 
From a safety and reliability standpoint, the plastic snap-on cups also wear out over time and split causing the cable to pop off the transmission.

Our solution replaces the rubber and plastic internals of the OEM shifter cable ends with tightly toleranced aluminum and Delrin components, reliably held on with steel snap-rings.  

Also, the included cotter pins provide a safety redundancy to ensure the cables stay securely affixed to the transmission.  The result is excellent shifting feel, precision, and control with no added noise, vibration or harshness (NVH) and no chance for the cable ends to pop off.
