My 2000 996 came with 12000 miles from previous owner, and while I have only driven it myself for several hundred miles, I am having diffuculty locating reverse. Sometimes I will get reverse gear on first try other times 3 or 4 attempts are needed. I realize the car is under warranty, but is there an inherent problem with shift linkage on this year 996?
Thanks, Joe C.

Reverse is a little tricky to get into on my 2000 C4 as well. If you do it slowly, ie you push to the left past the spring retention, wait for half a second, then push up into reverse, the car likes to be stubborn. However, if you do it in one smooth motion without any pauses, it works fine.
