98 boxster not going into gear

[rick3000]

Can you put the shifter into the correct gear location (ie - the shifter is fine, but the transmission is not going into gear), or are you unable to get the shifter into the correct place?

A somewhat common issue is for the transmission cable 'retainer' to break, which keeps the transmission from shifting into your chosen gear. I had it happen to me, it's a fairly simple fix, which was described to me as putting the cable back into place and securing it with a pipe clamp.
