Are these common in GT3/RS's?

1. The classic harmonic shifter buzz. Just like in my Cayman S Sport.

2. Passenger side carbon bucket rattle

3. Passenger side seat bottom chirping and rubbing against the tunnel.

Hoping I don't have too much vibration coming from the transfer case? Any thoughts or fixes welcome. TIA.

 

1. Is that the gearbox sound you get when in gear and let off the gas?

2. nope

3. nope

 

Nope, gets louder as I accelerate and decreases as I slow...

 

I understand your frustration. So I did this.

 

That's one way to do it

 

The buzz noise coming from shift boot? Had to put some gum type stuff underneath the edge of shifter boot frame.

 

1 no
2 occasionally
3 occasionally

 

Do you know if you have aftermarket or cup cables?

My .2 no rattles but it is all exhaust so...

On the .1 I had a rattle/buzz from the driver door/vent area, it was driving me crazy for months. It turned out to be the Porsche keychain!

 

^^^ I had same with my cayenne with my keys. And my keychain is a little wheel, car key, house key. That's it...

My RS is SOLID. Makes no rattles that I can hear over the exhaust noise, 120 mph on track windows down :-)

 

Thanks Gent's...

The seat chirp/rub is the leather seat bottom on the left side rubbing on the tunnel. I can stop it by jamming my hand in there or if I move the seat forward on it's rails so the interference fit isn't as tight...

The bucket seat rattle is when I hit bumps and the whole seat back vibrates..

The shifter buzz will stop if I grab the shifter itself...

I was just wonder if some of these were common...

 

I don't know...

I have checked for the key rattle...

 

Passenger seat rattle on the tunnel could be from a warped carbon fiber tunnel if you have that option. Mine did this and rubbed/rattled on the tunnel because it pushed toward the passenger seat more once it warped. Wasn't much but just enough to touch it. Porsche replaced the whole carbon fiber piece under warranty. Hard to notice but it was visible where the ash tray interface was.

 

Going to look into this...

 

Another good suggestion. It's not a carbon tunnel but it's interesting the passenger side seat bottom is much closer and tighter to the tunnel than the drivers side..

thx.

 

I will occasionally get passenger seat rattle. Not all the time by any means. Otherwise mine is pretty solid
