It is a drop in, and it is supposedly an improvement for a couple of reasons.

It is a 15% shorter throw than the stock 986 shifter.
It will have new bushings, which can help keep the shifter from being sloppy in side to side motion.
It comes with new cable ends and that clip on, and the inside pieces can wear down can cause sloppy shifting, or sometimes even breaks completely.

Note that I said supposedly I am getting mine because another guy in town got one on his 1999 996 and he loves it, and it got me sold If some of the sloppiness goes away it will be a bonus
