Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that suspect a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suspected cause
If the other gears can be engaged without problem it is most likely a problem with the shift linkage adjustment and not the clutch.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 1 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

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

POST 1Original post

I can not get into first gear or reverse after I drove my car back home from lunch. I don't know what's wrong. I will try to get to the dealer and have them take a look at my transmission. Since about 3 months ago, my first gear was very hard to get engage. I felt like having carpal tunnel syndrome.

POST 2Original post

Perhaps your car is among the TSB that Porsche put out about faulty slave cylinders. Since your car is not in the registry and can't tell you if it is among the affected but getting it to the dealer is the smart thing to do. They should be able to sort out the issue. It could also be a loose pressure plate bolt and in any case the dealer can take care of it for you. Both are a one day fix.

POST 3Original post

If the other gears can be engaged without problem it is most likely a problem with the shift linkage adjustment and not the clutch. Mid-engined cars are very sensitive to linkage alingment. I had a similar issue with my Pantera that was easily adjusted. Thank fully it has not happened to my CS as the accessability to the linkage is not the same as on the Pantera.
