I changed into forth and when I got to the next road junction, went through the gears with no problem.

I wasnt sure if it was the top mount that needs replacing.

Secondly (although I should do a separate post for this) I have had a 'knocking' noise come from the passanger side front for some time (since the car had 9000 miles on it) but the noise NEVER happens when the car goes into the garage (it now has 60,000 miles) and I have had all sorts of things changed on the suspension.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I had a bit of a nightmare the other day. Driving along at 30 ish and changing up to third gear, I found that the gear would not engadge. No matter how much stirring I did, the gear stick would not go into third. I changed into forth and when I got to the next road junction, went through the gears with no problem. When I got home, I told my wife and she said that she had the same problem a few weeks ago (but she neglected to tell me). The car had been into Porsche for its service last week and if I had known, I would have had them look at it. Has anyone got a clue what could cause such an intermittant problem with the gears? Secondly (although I should do a separate post for this) I have had a 'knocking' noise come from the passanger side front for some time (since the car had 9000 miles on it) but the noise NEVER happens when the car goes into the garage (it now has 60,000 miles) and I have had all sorts of things changed on the suspension. It is very intermittant and may go away for months. Strangely, the knocking seems to happen when the car is going in a straight line on smooth roads. Is there something in or around the glove box that could sound like the suspension that could have come loose? Thanks as always.

POST 2Original post

I would suspect one of the clips which hold the shift cables to the gearbox. They are notorious for breaking. A well-placed cable tie usually does the trick. The knocking is a mystery to me. If it has been doing it since 9000 miles, I wouldn't have thought it was suspension, but I have no idea what could be causing it behind the glove box area.

POST 3Original post

Mine makes a similar noise but only when ive just started her up. I wasnt sure if it was the top mount that needs replacing.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you guys. Porsche said that the gear is probably a clip also. They are going to do this next week. The knocking is another thing and I will let you know if we get to the bottom of it.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
