Recently heard a bit about failing Gearbox on the 993RS ........ is this becoming more frequent from general use or something inherent in the design and build or should you be really gentle with them and no sudden flicks of the gearstick?
 
No these boxes are bomb proof , I have participated in many track days since 2000 including 40 min ' race ' in feb at Pomeroy trophy with no maintanence apart from regular oil changes . I would recomend frequent transmision oil changes with engine oil change .

Peter, Remind me to tell u a story next we meet ! Its verging on sad and definitely expensive ...................gear sets seem to range from abt£1300 to almost £2k a set !
I am sure u can guess how i know !
 
O dear theres allways one , quick hint Vic try pushing the pedal on left down before shifting gear

Thats exactly where the trouble started .........................box of nothing all of a sudden , especially when hot !
 
I need my LSD rebuilding and they are looking at the gearbox at the same time. It's become very notchy recently. Car has covered around 29,000 miles. Will report back when they look inside.
 
LSD s can dissolve before ur very eyes .very disappointing if box gone at this mileage .....synchro rings only abt£120 each......ther est u dont want to know
