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.

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.

Well it finally happened, I have put about 25k on her and she finally broke. See this thread to find out what happened.

On the way home from work, shifted out of first to second and into third, when nothing from the shifter. Stuck in 3rd gear with no east west movement. Havent had a chance to get under it, because its raining heavily out here. Hopefully disconnected and not snapped. Well see tomorrow!
The odds are that the same thing that happened in the "linked" thread happened to your car. With any luck, the cable clip came loose and the cable itself did not break. Good luck and keep us posted.
Agreed, IMO this could be 100 times worse. I thought it was creepy that I commented on the thread and it happened. Im glad I requested the DIY at the time. Crazy how things work out! Ill jump under it after work and give you a heads up!
Ok, so I contacted the shop and they sent me the cables. Turns out wrong cables but didnt realize until the installation. They sent me 996.424.041.10 and I ordered 996.424.041.08. The linkage on the end of the cables is different. I bought them for a lower price at a porsche mechanic and he doesnt have the other.
Please help me find 996.424.041.08 or I have been told 996.424.041.09 will work as well.
