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. This shifter linkage in conjunction with their short shifter offers an incredible package.

An explosion took place in Porsche’s main factory in Zuffenhausen early this morning, temporarily stopping production of the 911. It’s believed that gas leaked from a PVC oven in the paint room, causing the explosion. Two workers suffered minor injuries, there’s no word yet on the extent of damage to the vehicles. During the subsequent fire, the factory’s sprinkler system was activated, flooding portions of the factory and presumably causing more damage.

Porsche will be halting 911 production for up to three days, normal production stands at roughly 160 units per day. The Cayenne, Boxster and Cayman are unaffected. Local police are investigating the cause of the explosion, expect more details later.
