Default NEED 2001 996 TT Transmission

My indy mechanic confirmed my transmission done. 125,000 miles on 2001 996 TT. He checked Porsche supplier in North Carolina but no transmissions available. Any thoughts/ suggestions/ direction appreciated.

Thanks,

Sean Miller

Sean, right now it is really hard to find good used 996TT gearboxes..
Porsche is providing 997TT gearboxes for the 996TT>>you might search for 997TT.
What is wrong with your gearbox? Is your ring and pinion destroyed..
All the parts are still available to rebuild these boxes..
I have 3 rebuildable gearboxes..
Send me a email or call me

That is the 2nd cracked bell housing that I have seen this year. One of my customers just got done installing his repaired gearbox this past weekend. Your gearbox can be fixed! Email me..

Yep as Kevin said that can be fixed. I had done it back in the day for a 964 guy. Definitely not the end of the world.

Maybe too much spring pressure from the pressure plate or just metal fatigue.

High mileage cars that haven't had a new clutch can wear the throw out bearing fork, throw out bearing, the nylon fork bushings and sticking needle bearings all contribute to the failure. The wear SLOP that accumulates and this is what happens. This is the 2nd failure just like this in 8 weeks. Stock clutch, all stock cars...

Looks like someone already took a stab at “welding” it based on what appear to be globs of melted aluminum. That area would need to be thoroughly cleaned and maybe preheated for any chance at a successful repair.

It always amazes me what I see on this forum. I will have to check this out. I assume you have to disconnect those fluid lines outside the bell housing and have a mess doing so?

Kevin, what do you mean by "high mileage". My car has 56,000 and I have no idea if the clutch is original.......planning on engine-out service at 60,000, hope the clutch is OK till then.
