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.

Greetings...
As the owner of a 2004 Cayenne S, I am not necessarily new to Porsche, but the recent acquisition of a 2002 996tt w/X50 package probably makes membership into the Porsche family a bit more relevant. Great car that is completely different in character from it's stablemate, an 86 Mondial 3.2 QV.
With only 15K on the ticker, I declined buying an extended warranty...but now find that it suffers from 2nd gear pop out (guess that is what can happen when a purchase is more of an impulse buy than a fully researched one). From my brief search here, it doesn't appear to be a big deal.....something best left to the dealer to fix?

Welcome!
I think you'll really like the 911, especially the Turbo.
Sorry to hear about the trans issue. Does it pop out when accelerating real hard in 2nd? It's one of the few things that can happen to these cars. There is a band aid DIY stronger detent spring fix, but trans removal and disassembly is required for repair. Let us know what the dealer says regarding a fix for this.
Score!! Beautiful example of an awesome P-car. Best of luck avoiding tix in your home town- unfortunately Golden hasn't been too good to me and I drive thru 3-4x per week.
Thanks for the welcome, it is great to be part of a active list such as this!
Nick, the issue with 2nd gear is very inconsistent and I need to pay more attention to when it actually occurs but my sense right now is that it is more likely to happen during transition from throttle on to throttle off. It seems to pop out in a subtle way...not as a hard action, if that makes sense. I will watch it more closely and figure out the circumstances.
Now, on to ivangene's request......enjoy

Owned a 89 T from 1998 to 2005, then I bought my first P-car in 02, a Boxster S. the Ferrari started staying in the garage whole lot more.... then the 996 came, I never looked back
Beautiful 3.2 I must say!
