ABOUT FUNCTION-FIRST PERFORMANCE

Function-First Performance develops, designs, and manufactures aftermarket Porsche performance parts. Function-First Performance was founded by a mechanical engineer, a racecar mechanic, and a true Porsche enthusiast to provide Porsche drivers with an unfiltered, visceral driving experience. Road-going Porsches are derived from racecars, but in the name of civility and comfort, much of the racecar's precision and rawness are lost, resulting in a dulled and impure driving experience. Function-First Performance Functional solutions bridge the gap to restore the racing pedigree of your Porsche. Their products will unleash your Porsche's full potential by increasing performance and enhancing driver connectivity.

WHY CHOOSE FUNCTION-FIRST PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS?

The OEM engine and transmission mount were designed for ride comfort and are susceptible to sagging and tearing; furthermore, they hinder performance. Its empty spaces permit excessive transmission movement, resulting in sloppy handling, dulled responsiveness, and imprecise shifting. Racecars use a solid metal mount to mitigate this, which is impractical for street use because it transmits excessive noise and vibration to the cabin. The most effective and simple-to-install solution is provided by Function-First Performance. Their durable urethane rubber insert simply slides in to fill and reinforce the OEM mount's empty voids, preventing premature bushing wear and undesirable transmission movement while transmitting minimal additional noise and vibration.

The substandard plastic bushings and pivot connections utilized in the shifter assembly of many stock Porsches are responsible for the subpar shifting performance. Due to the loose tolerances and free play required by these bushings to prevent binding, they result in a sloppy shifter feel. Moreover, their plastic and rubber construction flex excessively, resulting in spongy gear engagement, especially in vehicles with accumulated wear and tear over the years. Function-First Performance also replaces the rubber and plastic internals of the OEM shifter cable ends with aluminum and Delrin components that are securely held in place by steel snap rings. In addition, the included cotter pins offer safety redundancy to ensure that the cables remain firmly attached to the transmission. The result is superior shifting feel, precision, and control, with no added NVH and no possibility of cable ends detaching.

Moreover, the Shift-right replaces plastic bushings with ball bearings, thereby eliminating the flex and excess play that typically plague the standard setup. As a result, shifter feel is sharpened and gear engagement is assured. The Retrofit Kit consists of custom-machined aluminum components and heavy-duty ball bearings in order to completely upgrade the factory shifter assembly. Furthermore, the shifter yoke's tight tolerances tighten the shifter's lateral movement. With this setup, the OEM shift lever and cradle are retained so that the shifter throw remains unchanged and the factory fit is maintained. The OEM shift knob is compatible with this setup.
