I have noticed that the 2nd to 3rd shift at high rpm's in my car sometimes grinds, also there is a lot of side-to-side play in the shifter in 3rd gear. Dealer has the car now and says that they could only replicate difficulty with 1 in 10 shifts or so, the car only has 3900 miles so I am hoping it's not a major problem. The dealer said they had an email into Porsche about possible adjustments that could be made, any advice or similar experiences?
3rd gear is really tight, possible shifter adjustment?

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.

Grinding would unlikely be a symptom of a bad shifter but of poor clutch engagement or syncro/gear problem.
yeah, the thing is, the clutch still feels good... Is it common for the shifter to have a lot of side-to-side play in 3rd gear?
