996 Turbo Cabriolet 2004 model year 40,200 miles; After planting it in first I skipped a few cogs and went for 5th but the lift off weight transfer a pot hole and my left arm conspired to jam the lever hard into 5th with a horrible graunch like gears grinding. Then I couldn't select 6th. After trying for 6th I couldn't get 1st or 2nd, unless I went back into 5th and went sequentially down through the gears. Avoiding trying to select 6th meant that I was able to get the car home albeit at rather higher revs at the legal limit. Reverse is fine too. What has broken? I am hoping someone will say that it is a selector cable and not that I will need a new box at a family home mortgaging £14,000. (and that is from design 911)
