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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So one night we are out cruising in my brothers car and the tranny went nuts on us. The car never gets abused. My bro is a fisherman and is at sea a majority of the time so it usually just sits there. So we are cruising in 4 at a relaxed pace (maybe 2k or so rpms) and out of the blue it felt like the car went in to neutral. It was definitely still in 4th gear though. So we pull over, check the car out and everything seems fine. 1st gear... 2nd gear... 3rd gear... no problems. As soon as you hit 4th, feels like neutral. It's almost like it is not engaging. I have the car now while he is out fishing so I can find the problem. I am looking for a good tech or reasonable explanation at what might be wrong, and price to fix the problem. If you rev it in 4th (neutral) you can almost feel it grab but it just doesn't. I was told by a local non Porsche specific mechanic that each gear has a clutch pack. He said the clutch pack for 4th must be gone and would not quote me a repair price. Does this sound logical? Could it have been some kind of servo or sensor that went bad? 38k miles and already having major mechanical problems is not a good sign. Thanks in advance guys. thats the car if you wanted to see it.

You don't by any chance know where I can find a shop that has a PST2 in the New England area do you?

POST 4Original post

Just Google "New England Porsche repair" There are several shops.

POST 5Original post

i agree with the mechanic that it sounds like a bad 4 gear clutch pack. the transmission needs to get rebuilt.
