2nd gear synchro?
Hey Guys,
I’ve been meaning to inquire about this for a while now. I own an ‘01 TT which is nearing 30k miles. I hear a good amount about the synchro issue on the 996. My car has never been tracked or raced. No modifications.
I’m interested to find out the percentage of cars that experience this problem and what exactly causes it to happen? Also, I remember someone discussing a GBox gear detent and wanted to know if this is something I should consider.
Any insight would be appreciated!
Cheers,
-Rob

As mentioned this was a manufacturing issue, which Porsche warrantied on a ton of cars. 15 years on any car that starts getting a 2nd gear pop out issue is due for a rebuild. Adding tension to the detent to try to force it to stay in gear won't fix that.
