The local Porsche repair shop didn't work on trans, so I was still out in the cold. However, a thread in the General Discussion appeared and it was suggested to have CMS in AZ do the work. I did some research on them and found a 2nd trusted source who highly recommended them, so I contacted them with a detailed description of what my trans was doing. I immediately got a response back from Roger saying the following items should be replaced:

2nd gear synchro
engagement teeth on 2nd gear wheel
1st/2nd shift sleeve

He had the parts in stock for $1330. I asked how much he would charge to do the repair and he said $600. I had SLM drain the trans fluid and ship my trans to CMS. It just left Thu. Roger said it would probably take 2 wks to make the repair.

Happy to get the trans fixed up for approx $2500 or less. The CSS should be in tip top shape when she's done. Haven't heard an update on the engine. Early Aug would be the 2 mo est they gave me, so even if everything is going on schedule, there's a few wks to go.
