Not that I want to protect VMC in any way but gear boxes can fail for a car that is about 15 years old. Unfortunately, they are expensive to fix (ask me how I know) but you have a fresh box now for a lot years to come ...

I have had the same thing happen. At least several cars I have called on.

Bernhard: Which car did you buy from them? I was looking at a Blue 993 Targa about a year ago that apparently went to Europe. Was that yours?

Sure, There can be many flaws with a 15 yrs old car (and there are a few others which have to be accepted by me due to this, e.g. latches, A/C ...). However, to fill in a special oil just to "whitewash" a gearbox noise - this is anything but correct when selling a car.

Anyway, thanks for feedback. Very active and constructive forum here - great!

@Jim: no, it was a silver 993 - not a blue targa. But I see that you have found a nice 993 targa.
