I have a 2006 carrera cabriolet with the 6 speed and 52k miles. Until the oil gets fully up to temp it grinds going into 5th gear. Local shop says its not linkage, etc, and needs a rebuilt trans. While I'm sure the other gears aren't like new, I'm a bit reluctant to spend that kind of money if I don't have to.

Has anyone had this problem fixed out of warranty and if so what did you do and how much did it cost?

Thanks!

Might get better info on the 996 board. The Getrag unit you have is rebuildable but used ones are plentiful and cheap. There is also a co called G force that sells rebuilt units as well.
Good luck.
