Granted you're going with the 987 6 speed. I don't think those have detent problems but I'm not really involved in the 987 world much. The five speed is not only cheaper, so are the axles and I think the LSD. You'll also have to add in the cost of S rear uprights and brakes towards your swap. The 6 speed will be heavier and I wouldn't be surprised if it uses more horsepower. I hear the 5 speed is easy to rebuild if you choose that route. I personally would just buy another used one before I rebuilt a 2.7 five speed.

I wouldn't mind rebuilding it, if I knew how. My knowledge of transmissions is comic book level unfortunately, and the FSM (not surprisingly) is a bit confusing to say the least.
The flip side of that coin though is buying another one is a total crap shoot, and with my luck the "new to me" one would be worse than this lol.
