ah the benefits....

Well the Agency Power shifter kit has a better engineered needle bearing for a smoother more precise throw. With a reduce throw of 35% over stock, the shifter vastly improves shifting for street and racing driving. Quicker shifting gives you better throttle control and less wear and tear on the clutch. The AP SSK material and tolerances are going to be a little different then the B&M. This shifter was designed to give the best possible shifting solution and when paired with the Agency Power shift linkage, the benefits cannot be surpassed by the competition.

what kind of material is is made out of, machining process, warranty/guarantee on parts? I've had problems with b&m ssk as sometimes it would make it hard to engage a gear.

The lever is stainless steel with black oxide. The rest of the parts are CNC machined 6061 aluminum. We offer a 90 day warranty against manufacturer defects. And I give you 100% satisfaction guarantee for 30 days

Dan,
I am VERY interested in the shift kit....I like your 100% satisfaction guarantee, but dont you have to cut your original shifter to install? If its like the B&M you cannot return to stock without buying an entire shift housing...Also how much are the shifter and linkage? Is the linkage easy to install?

HUH???? I installed the B&M in my old boxster and you DEFINATELY have to cut the tabs holding the old shifter out. No way to get it out WITHOUT cutting!

Not saying you dont know what you are talking about but according to the instructions from B&M for their shift kit....a direct quote from their install PDF...

"STEP 23. Cut stock bushing clips G . TOOL: Utility Knife
(996/986 shown - 997 similar) "

So if you cut the bushings of the stock shifter...how do you go back to stock if you dont like it? Replace the entire shifter?

send me a pic of what you cut out. I replaced the shifter in my own car, i took the factory one out and sold it to another person who installed it. If your just cutting the cClips those can be replaced. I guess i am not understanding you.

I did this on my Boxster which I sold...but to my knowledge, once you install the B&M or any other shifter, you cannot go back to stock. This is why the Porsche short shift kit is the B&M shifter already installed in the shift housing, so you just swap the entire shift housing....so my question is...I but the AP shifter....dont like it....you give a 100% satisfaction guarantee, but I just cannot simply remove the AP shifter and go back to stock. I'll need a new shift housing...probably in the $300 range from the dealer....thats my question....it looks good....is it "notchy" like the B&M?
