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.

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

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

It's been a long week for me and the 2008 Cayman S . Tuesday : passenger side window regulator is starting to fail. Press to go up, windows goes up 5 inches, then back down to bottom. Press again and window moves to top as it should. Thursday : stopped a at traffic light. Shift to 1st when the light turns green. Shift into 2nd, no gear found. Shifter is freely moving to where 3rd and 4th gear are but not finding anything. Car is stuck in first gear. Was able to limp the car home about 2 miles in first gear. Suspecting the shifter cables disconnected somewhere. Friday : Came outside to take a look if the shifter cables are properly attached to the transmission. Under the car rear passenger side (right) checking the shifter cables. They are both attached. However, heard some water dripping to the ground. Move to the drivers side front to find a puddle of coolant right behind the front wheel. For a ten year old car. These are some annoying issues. Anyone else suffering this week?

POST 2Original post

Did you figure out your shifter issue? On a 6-speed, the shift cable that sounds disconnected is on the left side of the box, not the right, as you describe.

POST 3Original post

You can see the shift cables attached to the transmission. I think they disconnected at the shifter inside the car. I haven't had a chance to take apart the interior to check.

POST 4Original post

Sounds like a sucky week. To be positive, bad things happen in threes, so they say, and running with that, you're done at least. Good luck with all the issues. Please keep us posted.:cheers:

POST 5Original post

Fore-aft on the shifter is the connection at the left side of the transmission. That's the cable that typically breaks (a bit in front of the transmission where it goes through a bend) and I suspect that is your problem. You sure it's coolant and not A/C evaporator discharge?

POST 6Original post

I can't help you mechanically, but your Cayman is as 100% the fun of a new one. Taking it to an indy and getting it fixed is far cheaper than buying a replacement.

POST 7Original post

Update on the car. The shifter cable snapped just before the transmission. New cables have been installed and the car is driving. The leak was not coolant as I first thought, instead it was windshield washer fluid. Turns out the pump is right in front of the left wheel. The pump failed and was leaking out fluid. I guess of all the fluids to leak windshield washer fluid is the best to lose. The window, well it goes up and it goes down. It takes 1 or 2 more attempts but works for now. I opted to have a deep sump oil pan and baffles installed so I can track the car more without the oil starvation issue. The Cayman is back on the road and still gives me a great smile. Cheers everyone!
