Im going to try changing the gear oil with Royal Purple 75w-90 and hopefully it'll help some...Im hoping my gear oil is pretty old and the new gear oil will cure some of the grinding.
i thought speed shifting was shifting without letting up on the gas? i do let off the gas completely. on a side note, i have a sand rail with a 2.0 turbo subaru putting out 227hp to the wheels on 33'' sand paddles and i'm running an 091 vw bus box, one would think the tranny in a porsche would hold up to quick shifting.
thanks for the info though, i didnt know the boxters had weak trannies
