I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions or solutions. My Boxster seems like it has been progressively harder to get into gear (all of them) since new. I've tried different shifter setups, different gear lube ect to no avail. It's the worst when cold, but doesn't get much better even when warmed up. It's to the point now where I almost avoid driving the thing because it's such a chore to shift. I recently drove a fellow board member's 04 Boxster S which is nearly identical to mine and it shifted like a hot knife through butter compared to mine. Could it be the shift cable? Trans linkage? Any thoughts?
