After having problems getting first and reverse gears. Car was booked in to JCT600 for Tuseday, however on the way home we got a nice crunching nose then could not get any gears [ ] Called Porsche assitance. Driver was able to get first , however after a quick trip round the car park, he was unable to get first or reverse. Scouser said it sound like gear linkages or could it be the gearbox ? Gary ps - RMS was done in July, could this have anything to do with it ? pss - can we have a spell checker please

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.

It was Gear linkage - cost £415 + vat Look like extended warrenty does not work for this one.
Was that simply adjustment, or were there some parts involved? Sounds pricey. Spellchecker - it seems like you have to download it (by clicking on the ABC button when you post) but it seems like a lot of faffing around to me, and I hate all these bl**dy add-ons and toolbars.
parts involved saying the "cable broke"
Don't beleive that it was a broken cable. You said that you could get first sometimes, so obviously the cable was still attached. If the cable was broken your gear stick would flop around backwards and forwards (or side to side depending on which cable was broken). It sounds to me as if the linkage cables had become damaged in some way - I would be seriously arguing with them over the extended warranty coverage - surely they expect a gear linkage to last longer than that!! Go back and shout a bit louder!
We are doing
We got a result. Car is fixed and NO CHARGES. Yipeeeeeee
Good on you! I had a new gearbox (C4) totally free of charge under warranty. You have to be forceful with these Porsche dealers you know - they think we're made of money. Glad you got a result.
Mind you, if you bought the car from them, you can kind of see how they got that impression! [ ]
