Hi.

something happen to my first post so I will try again

i just purchased this car about a month ago

i knew I would have to fix her a bit and two weeks ago the clutch was having issues

i live in a small town in south Texas. We have two qualified shops to work on a Porsche.

well I just picked up the car with the new clutch and flywheel. Shifted like butter. But this evening after taking the wife to dinner. I lost first and reverse. I was able to limp home in second gear with the hazards on, very sad moment.

I want to assume the liability resides with the mechanic. It never showed this problem before. I am looking for advice, how do I proceed. The clutch and flywheel were original New Porsche parts, as I was told , and it wasn’t a cheap repair. Could he have damaged the gear box? Or installed the clutch wrong? I am sad and confused.

 

There is a good possibility it is just a linkage or shifter problem so don’t jump off of the cliff just yet.

 

I agree, it might be an inexpensive fix. Take it back to the shop that installed the clutch. Keep us posted.
