I've done this repair on a 98. The problem is the housings for the cables (Porsche has issued a Tech Bulletin and cars from 00 on have an updated cable housing and transmission). Unfortunately, the cables do not easily disassemble from the transmissions. The trouble with the early housings is that they are unreinforced plastic, and after time, tend to stretch. This pulls the inner cable out of the motor. The DIY fix is to shorten the housings by 1/4 -1/2 of an inch.
