Take a peek underneath at the passenger side rear of the tranny. I'm betting one of the two cable connectors has come apart. The cable running the lower arm with the weight hanging low next to the tranny is the cable that controls the front-rear motion at the shifter.
I'll see if I have a pic for you.

One of the cables popped out of the bracket (number 12 in the diagram).
What would cause this? Do I need to replace a part?
thanks

Want the cheap fix? I use safety wire on the race cars, and a zip tie on street cars to keep them in the bracket. The cable housing has two clips on it. They break off and as far as I can tell, they are not available separately.

Thanks Brad!
The clips seem to be intact. It snapped back into place and I can't pull it out.
I'll put zip tie on it to ensure it stays.

I couldn't find any 6 speed pics. I see this more often on 5 speeds (but they both utilize the same crappy system)

Brad, speaking of 5 & 6 speed gearboxes, do you think that you could use a 5 speed tranny on a Cayman S for the short track events, in order to have a taller gear ratio..?
If so, having a 3.4 pulling through a 5 speed should be fun (obviously not being concerned about fuel economy..)

Gilles,
You can do one better.. and get exactly what you want:
These 5 speeds are Audi/VW gearboxes. You can get something for around $500 with gear ratios better suited for track use or whatever and swap them in and out as needed. No need to stick with the Porsche 5 speed when the Audi/VW's have better ratio's in some of them. It took me over a year to locate the different tranny's and to learn what was available "stock" that would benefit my customers at the track 
Then I located a nice German fellow who imports used and new parts from Europe in 3 containers every 6 weeks I started buying air cooled engines from him 10 years ago and have maintained a good relationship with him. He specializes in European auctions and brings stuff over to sell Guess where I get Euro ratio'd tranny's when needed ?? LOL
