Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

I've just been scanning through the used cars on the Porsche website, and it appears that some 996's are 5 speed and some 6.
When did the change happen?
What should I be looking out for?
Cheers - James

There hasn't been a 5 speed in a 911 since the 964 so I dunno what they're on about...they should give dealerships to enthusiasts like us

Seeing as we've gone way off the gearbox thread, I have a question for Olivia - does your new signature suggest you have found a new love of your life?

Yes an interim purchase as my 55 looks like being delayed till mid December (told the dealer I may aswell register it Jan to make it a 2004 car).
Bought a turbo uprated 450bhp in cobalt at the weekend. It is awesome.
