Only owned my car for two months. Today, out of the blue, the stick suddenly feels very sloppy -- can't find the slots to move it into a particular gear, can't find the neutral slot, can't find reverse, etc. If I keep trying and trying for 20 - 30 seconds, eventually I'll be able to catch it and get it into the gear I want.

The car had an excellent PPI by a Porsche dealer, and was also test driven by my local Porsche Indy shop, and both said tranny and clutch were fine. Clutch was replaced about 10,000 miles before I purchased the car.

I'm going to bring it in to my Porsche shop this week, but any thoughts on what this might sound like?
