My Bet is that your shifter cable broke. It happened to me twice! I don't think the part is hard to change, but it may not be a part the dealer has in stock!

Shifter cable, the one thats 27 bucks or the 8xx part ?


Thank god for warranty.... if its the 8XX

 

similar thing happened to me two weeks ago.

ended up needing a new shift gate, cables, and linkage.

parts and labor from dealer was $1500

 

No freaken way...so its not the little plastic thing that can be replace that pp complain about all the time ?? ....em i really fked ! ?

 

it depends. i think in your case it is probably the linkage.

i could not enage any gears at all. the shifter was completelly disconnected.

 

thanks... i called my dealership and asked if they had the plastic part... they said they only had 1 out of 2... and he thinks they have the one i need... i'm having a friend pick it up and bring it over...

 

was this cable something you were able to fix yourself?

 

If its that plastic linkage ... then your shifter should be on "limp mode" ...

 

My shifter is "limp" like a noodle. What part is the plastic linkage i need? Were you able to do it yourself?

 

You can either get another OEM piece ... or the billet piece ... I think EVOMS sells them ...

Do you have a OEM shifter or SSK? The center console and shifter assembly needs to come off ... it'll take 15-30 minutes ...

And you need a good rubber mallet to get the billet linkage in place.

 

Hopefully this is all you need-

Or go to bumperplugs.com and get it for 2 bucks cheaper... I ordered mine 2 weeks ago. Now its just sitting in my 'parts to go on soon box' since my car is broken.

 

Wow, this was awhile back. It turned out the shifter linkage to the transmission got disconnected. Stevensen Porsche charged me 200 for diag and 200 to click it back in. That was the last time i went to them.

 

Stevensen? Stevens Creek?
