Just swapped a 996 C4S for a 996 TT and compared to the silky gear change of the C4S, that of the TT is distinctly notchy, to the extent that I've graunched going into second a couple of times.

Suggestion · Original poster
Pleased to say Swindon report all is normal and that, yes, the 996 TT has a different gear change feel to the C4S, requiring a heavier had and decisive action.

Changing gear in general though requires you to be more positive.

Whatever, I certainly agree it's a good idea to make the changes precisely, but it's markedly different in my case from the slick one fingered change possible with the C4S.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Just swapped a 996 C4S for a 996 TT and compared to the silky gear change of the C4S, that of the TT is distinctly notchy, to the extent that I've graunched going into second a couple of times. The gear change really does require a firm hand. Wondered if this is the normal experience?
I had a C4S, and I have a TT.
The issue is that I had the standard gearknob on the C4S, but I have the chunky square one on the TT. I also have the shortshift on the TT, and I think for the X50 they make some small mod to the gearbox.
I have also driven 2 regular TTs but it was a year ago.
From memory, if you have both cars with the standard gearlever, I think they feel roughly the same. The TT may be slightly less silky and require a little more force, since the gearbox is a different design, but I don't think it is that different.
Once warm both should shift quite easily.
If you have the shortshift though, then it requires quite lot more force when cold. It is also more notchy. I like the precise feel of it.
Changing gear in general though requires you to be more positive. On the driving instruction I received with the car, they did mention at the start that I should slow down the shifting slightly and try to be positive. Of course, it is more important not to mess it up, since you can damage the thing more easily with the extra power.
It is still possible to make a mistake, and I miss a gear about once every 4000 miles. Most are minor, but I have graunched it once.
Thanks, I have the "cooking" TT (no X50) and normal gear shift. I'm taking it into Swindon for them to have a look. Don't really understand what's happing when you graunch it; the gears are permanently meshed so I assume it's something to do with the synchro cones. Whatever, I certainly agree it's a good idea to make the changes precisely, but it's markedly different in my case from the slick one fingered change possible with the C4S.
Pleased to say Swindon report all is normal and that, yes, the 996 TT has a different gear change feel to the C4S, requiring a heavier had and decisive action. So no problem.
