2001 2.5L Boxster with 47,500 miles and tiptronic. Momentary Grind shifting to revers
I just purchased a used 2001 Porsche boxster. There seems to be a momentary/slight grind and rattle when putting the car into reverse from drive. Is that normal?

Not only that...the 2001 Boxster came with a 2.7L engine, not a 2.5.

All ribbing aside, I think you may have an issue with a mount and heatshields, possibly CV joints, but that's just my opinion.

thanks for the quick responses ahah your right it was a 2.7L engine...i should be ashamed of myself for making that mistake..

also for the tiptronic, when i coast from fifth gear and let it roll down to 0mph, there is engine braking every time it down shifts...
