Stiff Shifter?
Hey folks. Noob to the board here. I just picked up my first Boxster (but 2nd Porsche) on Saturday and over the past 48+ hours, I've noticed that the shifter is very stiff (side-to-side only), even to the point of not returning to the 3-4 gate from either the 1-2 or 5-6 gates under it's own spring tension when it's cold. I don't think that this is normal, since when I picked up the car, I tried out the shifter on a newer 996 turbo at the shop and it was very easy to move side-to-side. Are there bushings that go bad? Lubrication that could be done? Tranny fluid needing to be replaced? Worn out shifter begging for a 997 part swap? The fact that it loosens up somewhat once the car is warmed up leads me to believe that it's at least partially tranny fluid related, but I'm not entirely sure, being new to the car.
Thanks,
Pete
