Syncro rings could be excessively worn, this would require transmission disassembly and could be expensive. Possibly a linkage adjustment but it may affect other gears as well. I would double check all external shift linkage/cable adjustments to verify they are correct and if this doesn't help it is probably internal.
thanks for the info. I'm gonna get it checked out asap. This is my first porsche, i've only had it a year and I'm just worried it may cost quite a bit. I'll find out soon enough. thanks again

i have 99 boxster, 36k miles. Been maintained well. Today when i shifted into 3rd, the gear grinded very slightly going into gear. No other gear does this and it only does it about 1 out of 3 times i shift into 3rd. The shift lever seems a little sloppy, could an adjustment have come loose or is there possibly something worse?
by the way theh shift lever always had some side-to-side play, but now it seems a bit more front to back as well
any help is appreciated.
Thanks

thanks for the info. Here's what Im thinkin is the problem. After i had the problem, the car sat for almost a week and i drove it today. No problem at all for hrs. Then it started again. The last time i experienced these symptoms it was my clutch going bad in a 1988 honda accord. Same thing, third went first and so on. It's as though it is good for a few hrs, then starts to heat and slip. I'm getting it looked at tomorrow. thanks for you two that replied, i appreciate it. I'll keep ya posted. if i can afford internet after the repairs lol. thanks
