    Finally got a chance to figure out what the problem is. I took the center console out to check the linkage and everything looks OK. So I jacked the car up and crawl under to check it out and found the linkage has came off the mount. I must drove over something on the freeway and knock it right off. The clip was twisted and a piece was broken off one end so I will need to order another clip to replace it. Whew, at least I don't have to change the clutch just yet. :) I did received the aluminum linkage so this is the chance to replace the plastic one. Hopefully dealer have it in stock...

    Does the car need to be jack up on 4 wheel and level to do the oil change? Thanks in advance.

    Nice, Is that a factory rear bumper?

    I just order the aliminum linkage since I am going to open it up mightess well do an upgrade. Have not crawl under the car yet but will do it as soon as it comes in. This will also give me an incentive to do the work. :rolleyes: Any update on your fix? Still holding up I hope. I am playing with the idea of changing the clutch myself if that's the casue and if I can find a lift somewhere...

    I probably look at it this weekend but if you look couple of topics down you will see someone got the gear stuck in third and there are some information there: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=16213 I will post what I find after I check it out. Sounds like you are in the same boat. Let me know also what you find out...Thanks

    Non-dealer Porsche shop quote me $1500 for clutch replacment. I will call the dealer maybe this week to see what the different is. If it's not too great than I probably go with dealer. But I will look at the linkage first myself before all that to make sure it's not a simple linkage problem.

    Are you doing this on the floor? Cause its so much easier on a car lift. I dont recall any special adjustments needing to be made, put you will need the right clutch alignment tool. Good luck and have fun. vizcarra44 i have a friend that manages a shop and i can use the lift there...maybe some of his mechanics advise too. thanks, Hi, how was the clutch replacment going? I think I might be in the same shoe...any pointers would appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    It actually looks like the cable is disconnected by the shifter. You need the factory shift alignment tool, snap it on top of the shifter. Take the disconnected linkage and push the sleeve in and then turn counter clockwise. Put the linkage in the splines, the alignment tool will make sure your at the right splines. Make sure it snaps in all the way, then turn the sleeve back and it should snap completely over. If you can take a look at the short shifter install instructions, it covers it even though you don't have the kit. You are going to use the tool instead of marking the cable's depth in the spline. CoreyNJ, where do you get the factory shift alignment tool? Do you happen to have a picture of it. I am also having transmission problem but not sure it's the clutch or the linkage. I want to check it out before I bring to the shop...if it's linkage problem then I probably will fix it myself. Thanks.

    I was just driving back home on the freeway and my transmission won't engage in 5th... the rpm almost passed the reds/limter but lucky I realized it and back off on the gas pedal. I downshifted to 4th and it was ok but feel like it's barely engaging so I stop to the side of the freeway and see I can engage in the other gears and it's also feel like it's barely engaging. After that I just kind of limb home on the inner roads. Is this mean my clutch is toasted? I have 75K on the C4 cab with some AXs. I have never had a clutch went out on me before since my previous cars were either sold before I have to replace a clutch or automatics. Does anyone have any sugguestions for on a transmission shop around Santa Clara CA area beside the dealer? What is the average cost to change the OEM clutch or maybe any upgarde clutch sugguestions if it is a clutch job...? Thanks in Advance.
