    And to make good on my promise, here's my report: we (my brother-in-law and Renntech member Paul and myself - with Paul doing most of the work ;-)) raised the car up yersterday and took a look at the transmission cables. The problem was immediately obvious: one of the clips that holds the cable in the guide rail had gone AWOL and therefore allowing the cable to jump out of the guide. We made a temporary fix by using the sophisticated tool known as steel wire ;-). And then I went for a blast in the autumn sun. And then I discovered in the evening that the car had leaked some coolant (two puddles just behind the rear left wheel), so that's back to the forum and finding out where to look first (cracked reservoir? badly fitted tube clamp? Who knows... ;-)). The leaked coolant was clear so I suspect it is a straigthforward leak somewhere. Ah, the joys of Porsche ownership (Loren would probably say "Now there's a great excuse to get your hands dirty with some honest Porsche DIY" ;-)))

    Hi Remus, Thank you so much for posting this answer. Sets my worst fears at ease ;-) I promise a full report once the problem is cured. Also thanks to everyone who reacted!

    Tx! That's quite helpful. So let's hope it is indeed just the push/pull cable. I'll get round to it this weekend (if the wife lets me ;) Tx, Hugo

    Hi Rod, Thanks for the lead, but it is a bit difficult since I'm located in Europe (Belgium) and I don't want to abuse the good people at GBOX knowing that I'll never be able to give them my business. So if Remus or anybody else could report on how his issue was finally handled, I'd be most grateful. -> Loren or anyone else from the tech gurus: any thoughts?

    Thanks viper I will check the cables. By ugly do you mean a new gearbox? What does a new one (P&L) run these days? Thanks, Remus Hi Remus, I have exactly the same problem on my 2003 996 C2 Cabriolet (US-spec, manual, 67.000 miles) since last Sunday. I could eventually engage the uneven gears if I slowed right down to walking pace, got it into second, let the clutch come up and then declutch again and put it in 1st. Then it was OK for a while, until the whole thing started again. How was the problem diagnosed on your car? Was it the cables? I really would appreciate if you could shed some light on this, because as you may understand, I'm panicking...

    Wow, fantastic help! Talk about a comprehensive answer :) The article is really very complete! Tx, Hugo

    Car = 996 C2 from 2003 (ROW-Belgian version). The option list mentions "030". On Renntech options list it is described at "Sport-type running gear". Does anybody know what this cryptic description actually means in plain English? I first thougt it was the sports suspension? Tx, Hugo

    Wow, stunning result. Love what you did with the Kenwood. Did you have to move the AC controls to the bottom of the console, in order to install the double DIN Kenwood?

    Thanks! Even Loren was in the dark about this one.

    Hi all, I've got a 2001 996 TT (US version) coming (should be delivered in Antwerp harbor after the weekend, fingers x-ed ;-)) and I was re-checking the options listed on the vehicle identification label in the maintenance book. The only one I could not find through the option code look-up feature here on the site, nor in A. Streather's excellent book is option code "059". In the list, it jumps from 058 straight to 061. Anyone know what option"059" means? Tx! GH
