05 Boxster S 987 second gear problem


Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I have an '05 Boxster S with about 46K miles on it. The car was built at the Stuttgart plant. I had the AOS and water pump replaced last week and a day after getting it back the car began to pop out of second gear on deceleration under load like before taking a corner at speed. It seems to only happen on deceleration and occasionally when I lift after acceleration. No grinding when I shift up or down just the pop. It did progressively get worse over the last week. I have began just skipping second when I downshift. It still shifts up though all the gears fine no grinding and no pop even under hard acceleration. I saw many posting about this subject but not one that fit so before I go spend $3k I thought I would post. Any advice would be much appreciated...

Thanks,

Andrew

Took it in to get the tranny rebuilt and was told that it needed a new one. The mechanic got one for $3000 and another $500 to put it in. While he was in there he said the clutch had about 5K miles to go and he would do that installed for $1100 RMS for $80. Also got the shoelace problem fixed p/l $300 and a dollar size door ding $125. All total $5240 and the car never ran so good even better then when I bought it.

Sounds like you got off cheap. What's the "shoelace problem?"
