I just dropped and replaced my C4 gearbox due to the 2nd Gear pop-out issue that pretty much is like the frigging plague for the 996.1 gearbox.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Excellent article on the 996 transmissions from FCP Euro blog . I felt like there is quite a bit of useful information in this blog article (especially for new or prospective 996 owners) and though I would share. Enjoy.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just dropped and replaced my C4 gearbox due to the 2nd Gear pop-out issue that pretty much is like the frigging plague for the 996.1 gearbox. I spent about a year driving around shifting from 1st to 3rd until I could find the time to fix it, because 2nd gear simply would not stay in. Shifting from 1st to 3rd for that year really taxed the hell out my clutch... so i ended up putting in a another new one and new flywheel (damn, that $hurt$). Got a pretty good deal on the rebuilt C4 gearbox from Joe Cogbill at CogsCogs . Joe has been racing Porsche and rebuilding gearboxes for over 40 years and I really trust the guys work. He's also got a pretty good collection of 996s in his yard that he parts out at fairly reasonable prices.
