I would've said the cables were the problem- do 911's use cables too?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

After trying the 997 GT2 gearbox stationary, I was struck by how much more precise it was compared to the Cayman's, giving a new meaning to rifle bolt snick snack. Better than even any Honda gearbox I've tried, including the NSX and S2000. That got me thinking. The getrag 6-speeder we have in the Caymans, in time I've found it to be very slow, probably the synchros do not allow faster shifts in unless we force it, which is really bad for the synchros. Compared to many other gearboxes in lesser cars even, eg. the Honda Civic, I feel that I have to baby it in, like WAITING for it to get past the synchros even with a perfect double declutch. What model is our Getrag? A G96? Is there any way to modify it to accept shifts quicker?

POST 2Original post

Are you sure it just was not the feel of the short shifter on the GT2?

POST 3Original post

All Carrera gear shifts feel more direct. I imagine this is because the gearbox is 3" behind the lever, not way off the other side of the engine as in the Cayman Boxsters. Both use spawn-of-the-devil cables though SS7

I would've said the cables were the problem- do 911's use cables too?

POST 5Original post

Yes. In their favour, they do reduce noise transmitted from the 'box to the passenger compartment. SS7
