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.

driving in this morning, tried putting into second and the gearstick pops out. I cannot get the car into any gear forward or reverse!!! It's stuck in first which is how I managed to get it home...very slowly. So what could it be? Gearbox? Someone please help
synchro mesh has gone?? common fault on a 996! hate to be bringer of bad news but porsche do not provide any rebuild parts so it is a whole new box. had mine done under opc warranty. it is a breath taking price!
Look at the Wright-Tune site, they appear to be offering gearbox rebuilds. Didn't Berny (Scouser) find a workshop in Belgium as well?
Pete's right, Tony Wright does 996 and 986 gearbox rebuilds: http://www.wrightune.co.uk Sounds like a selector problem to me, rather than synchromesh. If it was synchro you would still be able to select other gears, and would get a crunching when selecting second (but it should stay in gear).
Thanks Richard. I immediately thought it was going to be expensive ! Anyhow I had a chat with Northway Porsche and they suggested that it could be a selector cable thats come of from the gearbox. I'm going to have to get dirty later tonight to see if I can clip it on...they said if this is the problem it should be relatively straightforward to do. If anyone has a techincal manual that shows how to do this I would appreciate either a brief description of what to do, or even better (cheeky I know) a scanned copy or pdf of the instructions would be amazingly helpful. thanks for the comments and suggestions so far. Dre
Definately sounds like a selector cable to me. Shouldn't worry too much.
sorry guys that is what I meant as opposed to synchro!! doh!
I could extract the pages from the manual if you like. Send me an email and I'll attach them to a reply.
Richard...you have mail
