GT3-RS worth almost 100K more than GT3

Viken - I think you misunderstood my post - I believe what you are saying and am wondering where I can find more details... or maybe that was a response to someone else's post?

Metal - where'd that come from? I'd say odds are pretty good that it is a typo or else it would have been mentioned somewhere before...
Nothing here: http://content2.eu.porsche.com/prod/...cetransmission
or here: http://content2.eu.porsche.com/prod/...specifications
and this would probably say something different as well:

I got it. Don't believe what I am saying, I've been wrong on the GT3-RS parts. Sorry for the confusion. Anyway, no I do not have the shop manuals. Supposedly on backorder for more than a year while Porsche decides whether or not to reprint some.

aha - well, I was trying to decide if I was going to order a new set because my old 996 manuals from 99 were so outdated that I sold them rather than trying to buy all the updates. I guess I won't be in a hurry to order anytime soon.

I note another change in the GT3RS gearbox compared to standard GT3. Note http://content2.eu.porsche.com/prod/...cetransmission states that gears 2 thorugh 6 can be changed. On the normal GT3 only gears 3 through 6 can be changed individually since gears 1 and 2 are machined onto the shaft and have to be changed together.
This has been Porsche Motorsport practice in the past as well to have the "street gearbox" mainshaft differ from the "race" gearbox. Maybe some remember the "904" mainshaft we used to put in our early 911's 901 gearboxes, (and something you got when you specified "ratios to order") it's the same thing all over again.

Cupcar: You sure 2nd is machined onto the input shaft in a street GT3? I'm still waiting on mine so obviously I haven't taken one apart yet but this is the first (no pun intended) I've heard about 2nd being machined onto the shaft (I had been told changing 1st would require changing the shaft)

That's the way it is in a Mk 1 GT3's G96/90 gearbox, I did assume it to be same in Mk2 as well. You know how they spell assume.

Ineresting and a notable improvement in all Mk 2 GT3's then if second is a freestanding gear.
PET shows that the mainshaft on a Mk1 GT3 is part number 996.302.901.10 which has both first and second machined onto it.
Can someone with a Mk 2 parts list look up the mainshaft part number to double check?

996.302.901.10 - Gear set 1st & 2nd speeds - Comprises of main shaft and both gears.

Either it's a typo or the part number information is incorrect....Interesting, but not a concern for myself...

Hi Viken,
I still wonder if the RS has an interchangable second gear. It would make sense for the GT3RS to have the interchangable second gear and the normal GT3 to not have it.
There is certainly precedent for it, as you know the early G50/21 six speed gearboxes had an interchangeable second gear and this was changed in model year 95 to a mainshaft with a fixed second gear for the G50/21.
The G50/31,32,33 of the 993 RS at the same time retained the intechangable second gear.
We need someone that has a GT3RS parts list to check if the adverstising is wrong for both cars, or just one. The GT3 gearbox is derivative of the G50 in the 993. Cheers
