I live in a rural area of Ohio and the closest Porsche Dealer is in Columbus 2 hours away. My 2007 Manual Transmission Boxer is stuck in first gear. The stick shift has all kinds on play in it and feel like nothing is connected to it. I have read about the "Cable Issues" and that the gear shift may have come disconnected from the cables. My questions are as follows:

1. Do you agree that this is most likely the cause?

2. Is it an easy fix that I can do? ( I can do the minor stuff, but I can't drop the transmission out of it.)

3. If I can fix it, is it just a matter of going in through the top at the gear shift and reconnecting them?
