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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

996 Turbo Cabriolet 2004 model year 40,200 miles; After planting it in first I skipped a few cogs and went for 5th but the lift off weight transfer a pot hole and my left arm conspired to jam the lever hard into 5th with a horrible graunch like gears grinding. Then I couldn't select 6th. After trying for 6th I couldn't get 1st or 2nd, unless I went back into 5th and went sequentially down through the gears. Avoiding trying to select 6th meant that I was able to get the car home albeit at rather higher revs at the legal limit. Reverse is fine too. What has broken? I am hoping someone will say that it is a selector cable and not that I will need a new box at a family home mortgaging £14,000. (and that is from design 911)

Hi John, If your very lucky it may be that a selector connection at the gearbox has detached. see link to photo good luck Andy https://www.google.co.uk/...#imgrc=lgjjSXBbeF98RM:

Thanks for the quick reply. The 996 turbo gearbox should be pretty strong and it should take more than that to break it internally. Fingers crossed.
