Popping out of second gear nearly all the time
Hi Guys,
The DD is at the garage so I've been having some fun with the Boxster. 2004 S 500 SE.
It's only got 26K miles on it and second will not stay engaged. It's popping out under any type acceleration. If I hold it in, it seems to engage after acceleration and with a little bit of crunching and is then okay.
However some pretty nasty crunching is going on when it's not engaging!
/popping out!
Pretty sure this didn't start re wear (although the recent crunching over the past few days may not have helped!).
I
I see there is quite a bit on the net re this. Would be grateful if anyone could advise on how likely is to be worn be worn linkage centers (it's very hot where I live) or if these detents are worth asking about when I take it to the garage?
Cheers,
