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.

3 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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey guys, hoping somebody could help out me here or offer some recommendations. I have a 56 plate 987, it only has 27k on it, recently shifting into third gear makes a really nasty crunching sound. Double clutching helps but I tend to just skip third completely now. I'd like to get the car serviced too, I'm from Cardiff and have heard good things about both the Porsche Centre and a guys called Chris Denning? Although I'm not sure where I'm going to get a more detailed inspection seeing my problem above, read many horror stories before signing up to post. Thanks in advance!

Hi and welcome to the forum. Sounds as if you have a synchro worn. I haven't personally used Chris Denning but have only heard very good feedback about him. In fact if I lived closer to Cardiff I would certainly entrust him with mine. http://www.chrisdenningsportscars.co.uk/

POST 3Original post

For a gearbox rebuild with some mods to improve it get the 'box sent to Sports & Classic - a lot of Porsche specialists send theirs there and maybe an OPC or two on the quiet. Hartech can do the same job properly too.
