Which makes me wonder if there was a transmission replacement; sounds more like it might have ben opened up, worked on and then put out back together. Two similar failures in two different transmissions sounds odd as heck. Was there a significant difference in the shift feel when you got the new tranny? I would think the linkage would be stiffer compared with a unit with XK miles on it.

I could be wrong here but my local service guy told me they do not repair trans internals. They swap out the box entirely.
That could be a dealer decision or Porsche, I don't know.
The other possibliity is that any failure of the new transmissions from the new supplier is shipped out for analysis.
Since Porsche had a bad batch of new engines years back with the Box, it is not unheard of that they might have the same issue in year 1 of the new transmissions.
