| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: At about 30,000 miles, the transmission in my 2001 porsche 911 turbo began popping out of second gear upon deceleration. porsche is aware of this problem in the manual transmissions in these cars, and even has a technical bulletin out that states it might be because of assembly defects. certainly, the brass synchros in the transmission are very weak and prone to failure. this is unacceptable in such an expensive and powerful car. porsche has taken no responsibility for this and charges upwards of $5000 for a new transmission. this is a severe safety hazard because the driving characteristics of the car change dramatically when you are slowing down, especially if turning a corner at the same time. *tr |
