Gear change is getting a little sloppy sometimes finding 5th instead of 3rd etc. Standard gearbox covered 25,000 miles. Lingage? Cables? Driver? Warranty?

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.

Is your car still under warrenty? if so get it checked as it might be the selector pin what'sit that's loose/broken, my old car did the same and it was a gear box out job for a part that costs £25! But then the 996 might have different gear box to the 993.

Cheers Mick - car is still under warranty so will visit OPC soon
POST 8Original post
Would be interested to know the outcome - my 'box is feeling quite notchy (as opposed to sloppy!) these days, more so than I remember it being so gave it to OPC who said it was 'all within tolerances'. Haven't driven any other manual 996's so not sure what 'normal' feels like but can't believe this is as good as it gets... Chris
POST 9Original post
I've always found mine to be quite notchy and have driven 3 or 4 std 996's all were the same........
POST 10Original post
Mine is notchy when cold but once warm (within about 3-5 mins) its one of the best gear-changes I have ever had - very smooth and precise as expected. The only critism is the throw is a bit long, but a quickshifter would solve that I think.... just my 2penneth... :wink:
