Hi all, does anyone know where to get 981 GT4 gearbox spares? I have a failed detent bearing, and my local gearbox centre cannot find anything anywhere!
Thanks in advance.
Regards John.
 
You may need to look for a used part, Porsche gearboxes are non-servicable I believe. I know someone who recently had to have an entire PDK gearbox replaced (under warranty, fortunately!) due to a failed pressure sensor within it.

Probably because Porsche have a failure/replacement warranty from the Tier 1 supplier who will recycle/repair, which is fine (subject to availability) for warranted cars but not so good down the road. I guess the level of failures is low because there is no secondary repair market in Europe, AFAIK.

 
Yep, there just aren't the specialists are there? Parts for manual boxes are the same I believe - just not available. Happy to be corrected if anyone knows differently though [:)]

 
I think you’re right regarding the non-availability of 981 manual transmission parts Dave [the PET for the 981 only shows a replacement unit], and I agree with Ralph’s comment.

Oddly enough John, the PET for the 986 Boxster does show parts for that car’s transmission, so it’s possible that there could be a common part given that the mid-engine cars have always used a Getrag-supplied unit. If you’re looking for a reliable transmission rebuilder I would think that one of the well-established Porsche Independents should be able to tackle the job, although I’m not aware of any specialists.

Do you have a part number, I am not seeing that descriptor in the diagrams. The part may be common to other models although probably only via Porsche supply for new ...

Yes these are my thoughts also, but there’s no part number on the actual unit, but they have got a local engineering company on board who says they can make something that would do the job, so 🤞

 
Hi Motörhead, many thanks for that! I can see the part I need, but unfortunately it’s not shown as a part number, so it obviously not available as others have said, fingers crossed the engineers can come up with something.

I will update when I know more.

Thanks to you all for your input.

Regards John.
