Get the gear selector module from the other shop as soon as possible.
Since that part goes through the gear selector shaft, if it was ever removed and installed incorrectly, it can easily get destroyed when the transmission shifter goes past it's maximum limit of travel. The crappy part is, who removed it? The previous shop or someone before that?

Hmm, that's an awfully lot of codes for a transmission that supposedly had no codes previously. If it turns out to be what it looks like it's going to turn out to be, I think a phone call to "End Times Transmission Shop" is in order.
I sense an ebay auction in your future to sell a perfectly good 996 transmission.

Sorry to hear about the troubles.
However, based on your statement above, I would really be looking at the mechanical shift linkage set up. I know a lot about the ZF Audi transmissions, and if you don't have the mechanical linkage set up correctly, which controls a multi wafer switch along with providing mechanical input into the transmission, it will have symptoms similar to what you state.
I'm not saying this is it, but I would be looking very closely at the procedure on how to set this up and check it twice. I am going to look it up in the manual for my own info.
And having a Durametric is absolutely required (or other scan tool that can read the transmission) so you know what the transmission is seeing.
Best of luck!

Is this the first time you hear that transmission shows any codes?
Didn't Porsche dealer say your original trans had no codes, 1st mechanic saw no codes on your trans or mine?

I do not have any interest in learning the answer to this question. Whatever game "she" is playing - crying or other - I do not want to participate in.
