I have never experienced an issue with the gearbox in my 2, nor have I heard of anyone with a Gt2 having a pop out problem. There are only 300 or so in the U.S., so I highly doubt they had an issue.

Someone please clarify WHAT the 2nd gear popout issue is. Just a brief description of what people call the popout problem.
My GT2 DOES have a 2nd gear popout issue when slightly to moderately decelerating. If this is what people call the 2nd gear popout issue, then it is definitely possible for a GT2 to be affected also.
FWIW, my car NEVER pops out under hard decel or under accel.

If you do a search this stuff is here, but as I recall the fix for the turbo is to USE the GT2 tranny parts as they have steel synchros. The turbo has spindly bress synchros. I also heard that the gears are bigger, better, etc...but I think that is just hearsay at this point...hopefully somoen more knowledgable can chime in...

yup, that is what I saw another board members car do. Under hard acceleration it pooped out of gear. you might just be the rarest case of GT2 popout

I had the issue on a previous TT 03 my. Porsche replaced the tranny no questions asked once they experienced the problem while testing. If your car is popping out of gear during any kind of deceleration it is a problem. This should not happen at all. It was a problem on earlier models. I have not heard much about it after 03 models.
