Hi guys, I have a 98 boxster, 140k. Been running great, I have not driven it for awhile. Last week I took it out, and I shift into first gear, it feels a little strange, it feels like it's not going in all the way, and I let off the clutch and it grinds and the car won't move. Sometime I can get in first gear, and it won't make the grinding noise, the car would run. The shifter also don't seem to be sitting in first gear, it would slip out. Sometime the 3 red gear would grind a little too, it feels to me like it only go into gear half way. Anyone can give me any idea what this might be? Ive change the transmission oil, and didn't help. Thanks.
