I bought it used at this dealership, and they were replacing the rear shocks for free cause they were shot when i bought it, so i figured i let them change transmission fluid as well to see if it fixes it.

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

'Sup all, i have been finding that my shifter does not want to get into first or third. Especially when cold. I have since replaced the engine mounts, and replaced the transmission fluid with Porsche original. My clutch, pressure plate and the bearing were replaced a little over thousand miles by the dealer. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

Has it always been that way when cold? My gear box is snotty when cold. 1st and 2nd are anything but smooth. Once warmed though, it's like butter.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

True, it does get a little better as it warms up, but i drove my buddies two year older Carrera, with twice as many miles, and he had no issues. It was like butter right from the start.

POST 4Original post

How cold is it when you have this trouble? Mine is tough when 25 F, but it's fine when the engine comes up to temp. You may have issues with your synchros, and that will be $$$

POST 5Original post

you took it to the dealer? OH sorry - try a different oil - I swapped to Swepco 210 and had noticeable improvement find an indy shop - dealers work on new cars....your car is nearly 10 years old

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

@Barn996 The thought has crossed my mind, but synchros to be gone in first gear, i don't know. I have some kind of extended warranty, but i am guessing synchros are a wear item, and not covered? @ivangene I bought it used at this dealership, and they were replacing the rear shocks for free cause they were shot when i bought it, so i figured i let them change transmission fluid as well to see if it fixes it. It was only $100 more then if i was doing it. Hard to screw up unscrewing a couple of plugs, i thought Why did you need to change your transmission fluid?

POST 7Original post

OH I like to change stuff.... its a bad habit my car had 100k miles and i figured it was due, plus hard shifting into first it did help and good job stiffin the dealer
