    997 gearbox notchiness...


    The 996 gearbox is known to be notchy when cold. Particularly 2nd gear when cold. Is the 997 japanese box smoother?

    Re: 997 gearbox notchiness...

    Only put 210 miles on mine so far and I have found the 1st gear to be very notchy even when warm.

    Re: 997 gearbox notchiness...

    There have been a few times at a light that I can't put the car into first. Not a big deal though I just go in second. It hasn't happened alot.

    Re: 997 gearbox notchiness...

    Yep. First and second gear are notchy. It gets a little better when the car warms up.

    Re: 997 gearbox notchiness...

    I just had the Porsche Sport (short) Shifter installed in my 997S Tuesday by the dealer. I bought the SSK P/N 997 424 983 00 from Sunset Imports in Beaverton, OR, for $419.95 plus shipping. Cost to install was $172.50.

    The shifts are much more positive than with the stock shifter. With the engine warmed up, the shifts are no harder than the stock shifter. Very smooth. I am very happy with the result.

    On my car with the stock shifter, the shifts were a bit hard into 1st & from 1st to 2nd, when the engine was cold. Once the oil temp got to normal, these shifts became easier. Ifind the Porsche Sport Shifter actually be no harder to shift into 1st or 2nd when cold than the stock shifter was on my car.

    I recommend the Porsche Sport Shifter for very quick, positive shifts to all gears.

    Re: 997 gearbox notchiness...

    Mine was so notchy I couldn't even select reverse. It needed adjusting and now works perfectly ie hardly notchy at all. Even when cold.

    Re: 997 gearbox notchiness...

    I've never had a 'notchy' problem. Much smoother than my M5 was 1st to 2nd.

    Re: 997 gearbox notchiness...

    My short shifter installed at factory is great. After 5 minutes its smooth as silk!

    Re: 997 gearbox notchiness...

    cold notchiness will occur on ANY gearbox, this is because the fluid inside has not warmed up to operating temperature.

    also, first gear notchiness is normal, its there to prevent you from accidentally shifting into 1st
