I had never noticed it until I switched over to a set of Numeric Cables and my initial assumption was they were installed incorrectly or not aligned quite right.

I gave the transmission builder carte blanche to change anything that needed to be fixed and they couldn't find any issues with 3,4,5 gears

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey y'all, I've been hunting down an issue with my G96 box for months and cannot seem to figure out what is happening. Hoping someone here has had an experience like this or heard of something. The problem Once the box gets up to temp I find it very difficult to shift OUT of fourth gear. It is just this gear, no other gears present any issue and going into gear is not a problem that I can perceive either. I will add that it is worse when the car is decelerating (so going from 4->3 is this most difficult) but you can feel it some accelerating 4->5. When it presented I had never noticed it until I switched over to a set of Numeric Cables and my initial assumption was they were installed incorrectly or not aligned quite right. Also since it is most noticeable when warm I also assumed it was something else and the solid cables were perhaps transmitting the issue more. I've since checked and had my indy check both at least 3x and everything seems exactly to what Numeric says for the install. Things to rule out I have had the box rebuilt since this presented with no change All synchros were replaced at the time 3->4 shift fork was also replaced at the time since it was apart and I thought this might be the issue LSD is brand new and installed at this time as well I gave the transmission builder carte blanche to change anything that needed to be fixed and they couldn't find any issues with 3,4,5 gears I feel 95% confident having had the box out twice and apart to look for an issue that it's not internal to the box BUT really scratching my head on this one.

POST 2Original post

Put the factory cables back in and see it it fixes itself? At least u will know if it the cables or not.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

@De Jeeper That's the logical next move - but the original cables were starting to come apart at the ends so I junked those. Would need to purchase a new set to test that :/

POST 4Original post

Maybe someone has a set from a recent swap that u can borrow for testing. Ill look but i dont think i have a set of cables laying around. Have u tried reaching out to numeric?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

@De Jeeper that's a good idea - I'll see if anyone I know has some!

POST 6Original post

Greg who did the tranny rebuilding and what was the charge

Quotes source post: 19905896

@EVOMMM it was a guy local to me here in Georgia that came as a suggestion by a well regarded M96 engineer. I think all in I was at $5600

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well. Replaced the cables but no difference, if anyone has any ideas or has seen anything like this I�m running into a wall trying to figure this one out.

POST 9Original post

Do you have a stock shifter? Or is it numeric too? What condition are your motor mounts and transmission mount in?

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 19922524

shifter is Numeric, and both engine and transmission mounts are brand new OEM

POST 11Original post

You probably already checked this, low hanging fruit, but if the shifter is at the lowest setting, did you remove the carpet under it?

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 19922592

solid question, but no it�s at the mid setting - but have also checked clearances.

POST 13Original post

Clutch dragging? Does it come out of 4th with a bang?

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 19922751

definitely not a bang and it doesn�t feel like the clutch is dragging. The best way I could describe it is it feels like I�m stretching the shift cable to get out of gear. Which is weird because it would be pushing the cable back with that motion.
