These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

As above really, especially the lower gears at slower speeds. It will go into gear but it does take a bit of persuasion especially first and up to second and it's not the reassuring clunk of the upper gears. I'm hoping it maybe adjustment in the cables but can anyone advise? I had a look at them at the gearbox end and there doesn't seem excessive play and they're cable tied in place. When I swapped the shifter I marked the cables and fitted them in the same position. Other relevant work I've done to rule out is new clutch, 997 shifter, engine mounts, gearbox mount inserts. Thanks

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've found the alignment tool which I've ordered so I'll give that a try.

POST 4Original post

I doubt that is the issue. If the movement at the lever end is not the limiting factor then the setup is OK. MC

POST 5Original post

Sounds like selector rail inside your gearbox or some other gearbox issue like worn synchros.

POST 6Original post

I wouldn't be happy with my change either. It's got some sort of quick shift but I find it a bit woolly. My clutch is a bit on the long side so I'll not panic about it until I've a new clutch but I'm in no hurry for that either. Is there any real adjustment to be had? Sorry to hijack your thread. It's I'm possibly looking at the same problem you are

POST 7Original post

You need one of my solid bearing short shift kits :grin: http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=127355

POST 9Original post

When was the last time the oil was changed? Always removed the filler plug first to ensure it comes out!

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I hope it's not the actual gear box 🤞 Engine mounts swapped at the weekend, there's a definite improvement along with the gearbox mount inserts. Not sure when the oil was last changed, i'll check. Ta

POST 11Original post

Alex, Are you able to modify the standard Porsche shift with more robust components? Or do you only remove the standard shift and replace with your modified short shift? Cheers

POST 12Original post

I just supply the modified SSK for you to fit.

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