I've noticed on the 986/996 6-spd I've driven that going from 1st-2nd can be somewhat tricky if you haven't gotten used to it. Here is what would happen to me;

I'd go to shift into 2nd and think it was in gear.....it wouldn't be,the shifter would shimmy right before it grinded. I've gotten used to it but it did happen 3 or 4 times.
I think it was do the very long and vague stock shifter assembly.

I installed a 9x7 shifter assembly in two 9x6 6-spd. It really gave me more confidence in letting you know whether you in gear or not.

Could that be happening to you?

Document every encounter you have had and will have. Stay on them like flies on poop.

I don't think ANYONE trusts Porsche when it comes warranty issues.

Good luck.
