Convertible Top Stopped Working

[oldskool73]

if the parking break switch was gone, the motor wouldn't run.

@aussieboxy ... if you're near Sydney I'd be happy to try to help?

If you can hear the motor running, I'd check if the transmissions are turning? (if not, broken cables or broken transmission gears). then if the arms/sockets are broken. that's about all it can be, not much in there really to go wrong.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

Discovered that there was a cracked drive gear in the left hand transmission.

Replacement from Pelican Parts is $150...Porsche want $1140 for a replacement trans.

It's now manual with both transmissions removed until the parts arrive.
