Gearbox Repair - your thoughts?

[Cloudsurfer]

The 2nd gear pop out is somewhat of an known problem with some of these boxes, and I doubt it'd being caused by the linkage. The grind you started experiencing was likely just a worn synro.

There is a company in CO called GBox, and they specialize in Porsche gearboxes. They have a permanent fix for this problem, which they typically do whenever they have one apart for a rebuild. They are likely getting my gearbox soon for a freshening, and while it's there, I'm having an LSD installed.

Was the gearbox fully rebuilt when it was apart? Seems like an AWFUL lot of labor to only fix one gear (and at that, it doesn't like your problem has been fixed). I would speak to the shop that did the work, as its very unlikely that your warranty company is going to pay twice for the labor.

Sorry to hear about your ongoing frustration.

Yeah, I have heard of GBox - I even recommended them to the shop for advice. But they build race cars for PCA customers and said they would be able to handle it. I have to wait & see what the problem is & I'll post later. It will be hard for me to buy another PCar when this one gets sold. At first they seemed worth the little troubles, now they don't. Something goes wrong with this car almost every 2 months.
