I have not had any mechanical issue with the car and since I purchased it I have done a slew of things to it including oil change, coolant flush and brakes.

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.

I've been reading a bunch about the shifting issues w the 996 and second gear slippage. I found the fix w GBox, but am wondering if I switch to the 997 SSK whether that will fix my second gear issue. Any experience and/insight is greatly appreciated.

Only issue with the car is the front bumper has a couple rock chips. I will get it repainted if the new owner would like.
This has hands down been the most fun car I have ever owned. I have not had any mechanical issue with the car and since I purchased it I have done a slew of things to it including oil change, coolant flush and brakes. Plugs were changed around 200 miles ago to fresh stock plugs and gapped down. All service done at either BBI Autosport or Cobb Tuning So Cal.
This car has never been raced while I owned it, never seen a track. I rarely drove it and it sat in doors with a car cover over it.
Now, as the car sits it makes 580WHP and about 580ft/lbs of torque to the wheels. It is tuned way down as not to be aggressive on the rods. The car has tunes for E85 and 91 Octane. This car runs as good as stock if not better. I have a lot of time in the tune on this car so I can say it would be hard to find a better running car. This is also the perfect setup for someone who wants to do a 997 Turbo with bigger turbos, as this car has literally everything that would be needed to do bigger turbos minus the turbos and the lines.
These are the modifications done to the car as of right now:
Engine:
GMG Exhaust with High Flow Cats
Cobb Tuning 1000cc Injectors
Cobb Tuning Accessport with various different calibrations
OS Giken Twin Disc Clutch
Suspension:
Eibach Lowering Springs
Stock wheels and tires are brand new!
Exterior:
LED Tail lights
LED DRL's
Fixed spoiler Kit ( Not Installed)
Interior:
Has the bluetooth module/ Ipod hook up.
LED Lights for all interior lights
Passport Radar Detector Hardwired
Price is as follows:
$65,000 firm. No trades, no low ball offers. This is the price.
Please email me if you are interested in the car.
DO NOT PM!
There is a group of people that will get the PM's notification and this is a sale of my personal car not Cobb as a company.

Please let me know if you have any questions at all! Happy to answer any questions and can ship ( Buyer would pay but we have a good amount of transport companies that we use)
Thanks for looking!

I think you mean the GBox 2nd gear detent. Some 996's pop out of gear in 2nd. A few on RL have put the detent in with good success. Looks like a easy DIY. The detent is performed in the transmission. The only thing a 997 shifter will do is give a tighter/smoother shifting experience. Here is the link to the GBox detent.

Thank you Pete. Yes, for confirmation, that's what I was referencing. I wasn't sure if the GBox detent would take care on the second gear popping out. It's really not that bigga deal, but is annoying. Thank God for this Forun. I honestly starting thinking I forgot how to drive a stick, or there was a tranny issue looming.
I appreciate the response.
yeah, isn't that great! someone drives it around ( gorgeous perfect specimen btw ) adds another 268 miles to the odo..takes some better pics and adds $4800+ to the price! certainly their prerogative. was a steal at 65 though.
gotta love used car dealers. sheesh.

LOL.......I bought my 07997tt from a Porsche dealer in SC for $77 and sold it a few months later for $82. Don't be a hater........its not a very attractive quality.
Quote:
i was merely pointing out a statement of fact, and while I'm familiar with the term, i'm not sure where you got the "hate" from? it was more of a bemused disdain, if you must know
car was sold a couple months ago, and now with more miles and now at an indie dealer and the price went up by nearly 5k?! and my mention of that is hating? lol. need to re-learn your hip hop speak...
and the last thing i'd want to have for you is "attractive qualities", but sure. i'll take it under advisement. ahh, no i won't actually

No worries..... Some years ago, a rich kid sold me his 1-yr old $60,000.00 Supra Turbo for $7,500.00. I kept it for 3 years as a DD and sold it for a lot more years later.

Anyone in SoCal have a PIWIS2?, will pay for an hour of your time Need to get the 997-613-289-01- steering control module programmed. would rather pay a fellow enthusiast than dealer.

That was a quick sale, but I could have guessed that much. What am amazing car! If this was still for sale, I would be ALL over it. Great build and lucky new owner!
