Today my 2006 Cayman S 6 speed transmission cable snap ; ;
My Cayman S transmission cable snapped today. This is second time it happen. The first time it happen last year 2 to 3 days after I took my car to yearly service. And this year it happen again. The funny thing is it snapped about 3 days after i took my car to maintenance. So I am wondering is this situation happen to any other Cayman S users? Is this happen a lot? Is it normal? What factor could cause this to happen? In addition, I had overrev my Cayman last year ,but could the overrev engine cause the transmission cable to snap? Thank you in advance for everyone comment and sorry for my poor english.

I've seen these cables snap on all sports cars (porsche that is) and I have never really notice an obvious trend. Do you have a short shifter? Over reving or Internal tranny issues shouldn't affect this. Linkage on the tranny maybe, or mis-adjusted shifter possibly. Do you drive it in the winter? Maybe just plan old bad luck.

Nope I dont have a short shifter. Yup I do drive in the winter but not as much as in the summer. I think i really do have a bad luck this year lol. Today I picked up my Cayman S at the dealer. I drove my car less than 30 km and it happened again. The cable snapped once again. I wanted to reverse my car ,but i haven't put the gear into reverse yet. I just pushed the gear to the left then it snap. However, this time I can shift the gear from 1 to 6 put i can't shift my gear to reverse. What a pain I guess I got to get rid of this car before the warranty run out lol.

I got my car back yesterday. Dealer said this time the cable didn't break but the issue occur by some part of the gear lever broke. Today I drove my car over 100 km and the car work fine. I hope that it not gona happen again. Actually due to this transmission cable issue it makes my car even more excited. Every shift of the gear make me feel so excited in the same time thinking whether the cable gona break again or not.
