Default Fs 2nd gear pop out fix DIY - Cheap Insurance

Hey there everyone,

Well as we have been including this part in our rebuilds for some time now, I thought that we should share this very simple fix with everyone.

As many of you already know, several of the Porsche gearboxes will occasionally experience a '2nd gear pop out issue.' There are a couple of ways to address this issue. But this one is the easiest, and by far the least expensive option for the DIY guy or gal.

Now this part will not fix a pop out problem if there is already damage internal to the gearbox, but it will certainly help prevent it. In all of our rebuilds here, we have yet to see a 'pop-out' problem return after the installation of this part.

Installation is relatively simple and can be completed with the gearbox still installed in your car.

Price on this is $69.11, (had to add the .11 cents for obvious reasons, LOL)

Even if you have never experienced this issue, this part is cheap insurance to ensure that you have done everything you can to keep it from popping up in the future.

Let me know if you would like one of these sent out to you. We are putting together an instruction sheet today with pics, and will post this on our website later this week, so that you have a step by step guide to help you get this installed.

Warmest Regards,


Erik Johnson

Would this help in a '99 boxster? (not clear since you priced as 9.11) How about a 930? I'm not far from your office, I should stop by sometime.

Hey there Troy,

The detent is the same in the 99 Boxster, however this is not an issue in the 930 gearbox until you get into the later generations ie 996TT and 997TT.

By all means you should stop by the shop sometime, it would be nice to meet you.

So, what's the fix? I'd be interested as mine is doing this.
Thanks
