I'm getting ready to remove the engine and transmission from a 2002 986 S with 119k miles. I can't drive this car unless I install shift cables and I don't want to pull them from another car right now. There's a lot more play in the "gearshift lever" than I was expecting. The two others I compared to can go in and out slightly, but have almost no play in the fore-aft, back & forth axis. Is this 'normal' or needing a repair before re-use?
