Do you have a general idea of the cost/time to correct a situation as described in the initial thread? Obviously, this may vary greatly, but just wondering if we are talking $1,000, $10,000 or somewhere in between?

I had the same problem with 1st gear as well as shifting into 3rd under high G lateral loads (usually turning left). Turns out they replaced the the entire transmission under warranty. First gear problem went away but 3rd gear issue still remains. I understand that several other GT3 owners have the same 3rd gear complaint.

one, try different grade oil.
two, pause a nano second in neutrail before shift to 3rd then no prob.
if you are having this issue else where, then..... hum i dont know. maybe you need a new car holger ;-)

well as i stated the intial post sounds alot like normal opeartion but i cant confirm that without drivign the car myself,
it was an issue and wsa deemed abuse, youd be looking at 14-16 hours to r&i the trans and another 10-12 to tear it down to 1st gear and replace ive never done one for first gear usually we replace 2nd or 3rd or 5th

Porsche method for re-painting interior of house
Step 1 - Remove roof to gain better access to walls
Step 2 - Remove all carpeting, wood floors, tile, etc to allow unobstructed access to base boards
Step 3 - Paint as necessary. Use only up and down brush strokes with the length per stroke not to exceed 254mm.
Step 4 - Reinstall

I had the 3 gear issue as well. It occured mostly at Infineon. I replaced the bushings and and adjusted the shift linkage. It was better, but you just had to watch out for going into 3rd.

bob im sure the tranmission comes out very easyily with pulling the engine but thats not quite porschce procedure and being a dealer we have to follow porsche procedure. lowering the trans far enough for the impact stop to clear the body or to remove it is probaly pretty stressfull for all the hoses and wiirng attached to the engine
