Evening all,
Can I pick your collective brains. I havent got underneath to look yet, but thought someone might be able to point me in the right direction, so I know the likely culprit......
I took the 996 for a decent run to the South-coast yesterday (120 miles or so). When I got down there, I slowed down for a roundabout and discovered I couldnt select 3rd - it just felt like jelly where it should be. I then realised I had lost the ability to select, 1st or 5th (or reverse). As I was there meeting someone for lunch, I went ahead with that and then came back to the car a couple of hours later.
I decided I would nurse the car home with 2,4 and 6th gear. Initially I still had the same selection issues. Then about 5 miles into my return journey, I suddenly had all the gears back again and it didnt miss a beat....
Am guessing it may be an adjustment issue, as I cant see how they could function at all if a connector had come off the linkage (or a cable had snapped). Would welcome any thoughts.
