The reason you didn't get your answer would be, it's not every day posters to rennlist have to change our transmissions.

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.

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

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello, My gearbox bearings are going and the whining noise went now to a bit "grinding" noise. I have a M96.3 gearbox (Manual Carrera 4, 2000 MY) and was wondering if it is possible to put a Carrera 4 or 4S transmission from the later, 3.6, Models in my car without any additional modifications. Reason for this is that reconditioning my own Transmission will be about 2500 to 3000 EUR but I could get a already reconditioned transmission from a 2003 4S model for around 1.8k.

POST 3Original post

I'm interested in getting a solid answer as well. I asked in another thread about a 997 transmission in my 996. The 997.1 year transmissions will apparently work in our 996, but not the 997.2's. Based on this I would assume the 996.2 will fit a 996.1

POST 5Original post

I would like to know this as well, mine sounds like it has straight cut gears.

POST 7Original post

I think it is compatible... I had a 997.1 3.8 engine working with a 996.1 transmission on my 2000 C2. So I imagine the reverse should work as well. The only thing I am not sure about is if the same is true with a C4. Eventually I swapped out the 996 tranny for a 997.1 tranny when the clutch started slipping so and we were going to upgrade the clutch and I felt that while you were in there....well you know the rest of the story
