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.

So driving along at 60mph, without warning the gearbox locked up and sheered off at the propshaft, long story short I'm after a 996.2 6 speed manual gearbox for a 4wd., amongst quite a few other parts that were damaged as the propshaft failed in the transmission tunnel. Any help/advice would be greatly received to avoid the eye watering bill I've been quoted using new parts.
You have probably tried, but all I can suggest is contacting the specialist Porsche breakers (9Apart, Prestige Salvage, Douglas Valley, etc.)
Try salvage sales, such as Copart UK, where you buy a complete salvage car take the bits you want and sell on the remains after. Thinking a 996 C4 use same gearbox and transmission components as C4S, and looks like Copart currently have a 2003 996 C4 (6 speed manual / 2 axle drive) located in Reading. Hope this helps
Thanks for the tip, I had a look before at Copart but will revisit. I have searched the Porsche breakers but will email all directly this weekend, hopefully something will come up, its too good a car to break.
The only carrera 4 i can see on Copart is a tiptronic. I have found a 2nd rear housing so I will see if I can get it rebuilt at a reasonable cost, most other damaged parts are available 2nd hand so hopefully all is not lost...
