You don't mention year / mileage or clutch operation of your car, but its worth replacing the oil with the genuine Porsche lubricant and making sure its at the correct level.
Don't be fooled by "other" brands of gear oil claiming its compatable - nothing works as well as the genuine stuff, especially if you have a few miles on the car or existing lube.....
