My thread is dedicated to give a description of the story about my car, not of my friend.

As the conversation's started with fellow members I mentioned the issue with my friend, & that's how you know.
I'll take permission from you to get your approval next time before I make a post about my thread.

How on God's green earth can you damage 4th gear due to "Driver error"???????

Shifting from 5th at redline back into 4th? Where are you supposed to do that? At a test track/high speed oval?

In the racing world, usually it is 2nd gear that is toast, typically a "money-shift" from 3rd or 5th back to second. And even then, you have a chance of pushing the clutch back in when you feel the decell happening.

Exactly.. all it is is someone at Porsche is trying to blame it on the other. I'm not sure wether its my dealer Ali & Sons or Porsche Middle East or Porsche AG. As of what I've been through & all the back and forth communications I've had with my dealer and Porsche Middle East (Porsche Middle East are representing Porsche AG here in the Middle East & they are the ones who are making such decisions), I'm putting the blame on both these people. My dealer & Porsche Middle East. This is based from the issue I've had with my car being ordered wrong then the parts arriving wrong 4 times and them not doing lying and fooling me to shut me up by telling me when this issue is all over we'll give you 2 years extended warranty and then when the time comes they say $500 compensation; take it or leave it, & now they're trying to get $16,300 from me in order for them to fix the transmission.
They have no proof and don't know why the transmission has failed. All they know is that it shouldn't of. I believe it's a manufacturing error. I also have a 997 GT2. If I was so retarded I don't know how to drive a manual car, I would of damaged the transmission on that car which has done 4 times the mileage of the GT3 and has been driven much, much harder than the GT3. Then again, the GT3 is a brand new car. Mine is less than a year old and when they checked for over revs they were all within limits. There are no over revs on the car!! This whole story is so ridiculous; the air vents being ordered wrong & now the transmission failure that when I think about my case, if I were to hear it from a friend I wouldn't believe that there are certain Porsche dealers across the world that would allow their customers to receive such a terrible service and have such an experience - especially when that customer has more than 1 high end 911 and is loyal to the brand.

^ The issue is your Dealer- not Porsche I am betting.

Sad to see your Dealer is not fighting for you. Maybe you pissed them off or some thing but that still should not warrant this treatment. Very short sighted but there is always two sides to a story and we are missing one-side.

I'll reach out to a buddy of mine who is high up with Porsche Club UAE and see if he can help out. He has a very good repoir with Ali and Sons.

Have you tried Al Naboodah? Take it to Dubai and see if they can help...?

AndreasPeriera

Why don't you take it to another dealer?

CamsPorsche

In the UAE there are only two dealers:

Ali & Sons - Porsche Center Abu Dhabi

Al Naboodah - Porsche Center Dubai

AndreasPeriera

Yes I know.... That's why I suggested to take it to the other dealer in Dubai to know if the dealer is the problem.
I also have a Touring that I got from Abu Dhabi.

Hi guys, I am new here on Rennlist and got aware of your thread from the German PFF Porsche forum.

Got some heavy problems with the gearbox wich lead to a mis-shift. I have the problem of a moving shifter in 5th gear. I brought the car to Porsche in May after the problem occured. They said its perfectly normal and no need for action an therefor let me go.


Cheers, Dirk

That is NOT normal

MarcusG

Find another dealer.

Perhaps that small mount is broken or has lost hardware.

evilfij

Not normal. Have them show you another one and watch it NOT do that.

Looks like the 4th gear movement, but in 5th!

Jimmy-D

Even 4th gear movement is very slight and not that exaggerated. There is something broken or missing for sure.
