986/996 6 speed's are the transmissions that generally have detent problems. You have a 2.7 5 speed correct? There's no need to try other transmissions as the 2.7 5 speeds are dirt cheap. 2.5 5 speed transmissions are a different story.

The 987 6 speed can be used in a 986 with custom axles(986 axle with 987 inner CV's) and 987 transmission mounts. I've never put one together but I've seen some boxster race cars use the 987 because of the belief the 987 is stronger. It was a theory that lasted a few years but I don't think anyone is doing it anymore. I have plans to use a 987 6 speed in my 986 but that's because I plan on swapping in an Audi 2.7. Otherwise I wouldn't suggest using a 987
