Agency Power released their all new beefier shifter linkage for the Porsche cars.  This linkage fits on the 996, 997, Boxster, and Cayman.  The CNC machined aluminum linkage features a delrin insert for the shifter ball to fit into.  The factory plastic one with rubber fitting is known to break under hard shifts and long term use.  This piece gives you a more precise shift without all that sloppy play.  Check out the product here – https://www.agencypower.com/catalog/agency-power-shifter-linkage-porsche-996-997-p-15560.html
