Second gear has dissappeared?
ChicagoJK replied to ChicagoJK's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
I have already talked to them and they are being MORE than helpful in standing behind their work. So far so good. However, although they have theories they cannot diagnose the problem without seeing the box. 13 hours is the quote to remove and reinstall the transmission. I have an appointment to get the work started on Tuesday morning. So far the leading though from the PowerHaus tech is that the Dog Ring on the Speed Gear for second has come unwelded. :help: I am hoping (wishing, praying, etc.) to get an answer along the lines of, "This happened to me, but it was only (insert simple, cheap solution here)." -
Last year I put a rebuilt gear box (Powerhaus II) into my '99 C4 due to a problem with third gear. Today on the way to lunch I shifted into second gear and around 3,000 RPM the engine 'broke loose' from gear. It sounded and felt like a slipping clutch. No grinding, no noises, no warning. The other five gears work just fine. I can shift into second smoothly, but the there is no power getting to the drivetrain. I don't track the car and I don't race. Is it possible that I've won the statistical lottery and lost two transmissions in thirteen months? Any ideas? Jeff :angry:

Hello all, My Passenger Variocam Solenoid Seal is leaking - dealer identified it as part #996.193.223.52 for a '99C4. It looks straight forward - can anybody offer any tips? Thanks, Jeff :cheers:

So far I have the following: Clutch disk - 997 116 013 10 Pressure plate - 996 116 027 02 Release bearing - 996 116 080 04 Clutch guide tube - 996 116 087 01 Total Parts: $709.70 (Thanks, Loren) Plus the TSB Below: Is there anything I am missing? The part you are looking for is 996 116 712 04. Below are all the parts that need replacing per the TSB: The engine does not have to be dropped to change the clutch.

I think the fan on my a/c blower motor has gone out of balance on my '99 C4. Does anybody have a diagram for its location? I would like to diagnose the problem and am curious as to how difficult this will be to replace. It is sending a pretty bad vibration through the dash. Thank you very much. Jeff :help:
