Hey all! Long time Porsche owner (mostly ol' ones, last car was '69 912), but recently purchased 2000 S. The car drives like a dream. Shifting thru all gears is buttery smooth, except for the shift from first to second. No noise, not a grinding feel, but feels like it makes a gentle stop before fully going down into second. Feels more like the shift from first to second has two points instead of the one long shift downward. New clutch and motor mounts done at 88k according to prior owner records. Car has 95k on it. Enjoy reading this forum, and appreciate the friendly environment and continual sharing of info. 3rd to second on downshift is as smooth as 2nd up to 3rd.

Thoughts? TIA
