I am looking at a 85 911 in good condition but am scared that a hard and clunky transmission may not be too fun in the long run. I dont have a 88 or 89 available immediately, but am sure one may come my way if I look for it in the next year. Any opinions out there if its worth waiting for an 88 or 89, or if the difference in transmission and feel are just part of the Porsche fantasy, and im just as well served by the 85 i have in my sights. any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello to all. I am new to the forum. I have been checking out a well maintained 1985 911 as a weekend hobby car. The looks and feels nice, no rust problems, nice interior, working sunroof, electric windows and other creature comforts. The engine seems fine, the brakes work wonderfully and the owner is ready to sell for a reasonable price in my book. Miles are about 55,000 with a clutch replacement about two years ago (about 2000 miles ago) Test driving the car over the weekend, I drove in the city and out. Although I enjoyed the ride greatly, I felt the transmission was particularly hard to shift with heavy "clunks" when gears shifted in and out. First gear was hard to find in stop and go traffic, and shifting to higher gears required a bit of a tug on the gear shifter. The car has a short shift option and I am not sure if the "heaviness" in shifting is normal for this model year cars or if I am getting what a classic car usually has in store for its driver. Current owner said the transmission was hard and would be in all cars of this generation but i dont have another point of reference. Any opinions? If this sounds normal, please let me know if over time the pleasure of driving the classic beauty overpowers the effort of the hard shifting. If you dont think its normal, please let me know what i could be looking at in terms costs for adjusting or fixing the transmission. thanks, HG
