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

Hi All, I have a 2001 996 Turbo Tip it has developed a leak from the joint between the transfer box and the gearbox. This problem is well documented on this and other forums. I have traced a source for the gaskets. I now need someone to do the repair. I am based in Edinburgh, I am aware of "Automotive Automatics" in Leith, however there is some negative comments about them on the net. Does anyone know of someone trustworthy that can do this repair without ripping me off. Any help/info appreciated.

POST 2Original post

I don't know of anyone in Edinburgh specifically, but I would have thought any Porsche independent rather than a gearbox specific workshop would do a good job. I had the same thing about 1 year ago, and it was £1000 in round numbers, mainly labour in dropping the engine. If its any help I have a spare unused gasket I obtained from USA, which you could have at a discount. It was for a 997.1 Tip. but I am sure the gearbox is the same as the 996

Thanks gaxor both indie's in Edinburgh won't do the gearbox so stuck there. Thanks for the offer of the gasket. Will let you know if I need it.
