This is not a probability of success.

Edited to say that as Mike points out below, you can't change the dog ring itself, but you can change the gear wheel incorporating the dog ring.

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

Hi, does anyone know if i can change the dog ring only on my 2nd gear set in my 996 c4 6 speed 'box? I remember back in the day Autofarm used to sell these for the 915.[ ]

POST 2Original post

Welcome Jim! Yes, you can. If you drop me an email, I'll attach the parts lists and diagrams to a reply. Edited to say that as Mike points out below, you can't change the dog ring itself, but you can change the gear wheel incorporating the dog ring. Not that long ago it wasn't possible to purchase any of the gearbox internals from Porsche.

POST 3Original post

Hello You can not change it seperate as the dog ring is electro welded onto the gear .Youcan change the synchromesh ring as that is seperate and is a 950 part number. Why do you ask this question?>is it jumping out of 2nd gear ? Mike

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Mike, the 2nd gear is shot so it is being rebuilt. Hope it works!

POST 5Original post

Hello Who is doing the work ? we have done loads of these and to be honest the last 5 gearboxes have not worked properley going into 2nd gear we have had to modify 3 things to make them work its like the manufacturer has modified the gear set and not told anyone ! of course you get no backup from an opc as they don't fix them either. Hope all goes well. Mike

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, the box has been done and works perfectly.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
