Hi I had is fixed at about 100,000km Not sure exactly when the problem staed as it sneaked up on me But from 90,000km onwards for sure Everybody who as seen it thinks it a defect in the steel and not normal Its not like Porsche is going to come back to me as say sorry about that, here's a new gearbox for your trouble But is nicer to know what actually went wrong I have also had new clutch, new front rotors and pads, new front bushs replaced, but all of these where really worn and needed it maybe I drive it hard, but I don't think so cheers andy

First post so hello to everybody I have a 97 Boxster 986, 2.5, 5sp manual (New Zealand) Just want to share this to see if anyone else had this problem I had noticed (but not thought too much about it) 1st gear was getting noiser, other gears were fine, gear change was fine too Took it in for a regular service and the Porsche service guys commented on it and suggested a bearing and I should schedule a time to strip the gearbox to see what was going on Also told me to nurse it until then So I started saving for a big bill haha some time later I had it booked in and had the gearbox stripped Bearings were fine, Syncros fine Layshaft 1st gear teeth had big pitting in several teeth All other gear clusters where fine Have attached the photos of the teeth Questions Is this normal wear ? ha What do your reckon caused this wear? Is this a manuafacturing fault? Would appreciate your feedback Any Boxster owers had similar issues? regards andy
