Gbox 2nd gear detent

[ArmenT]

Right, I don't have a popping out problem, but most of the time I need to apply more effort to engage 2nd gear without grinding noise(2001 986S 78K, fresh genuine Porsche transmission fluid).In some threads people say they get rid of the problem after installing Gbox detent, so hopping this will fix it. I think I should be able install it without removing transmission.
Thanks.

Sometime it can be a sign of the motor mount and transmission mounts going bad. I have a similar problem in the last few weeks and sure enough my motor mount is in bad shape. Rubber just goes bad after 12 years.

Agree,I replaced motor mount last year, when I both the car.It was bad,after removing it form car rubber core insert came out completely.I am thinking about transmission mounts as well,that something on my to do list.
