Hi guys, i recently purchased a 2006 997 c2s with 4k miles on it
the car came with a factory installed short shifter if that help
sometimes when at a stop it is very difficult to put the car into first gear almost like your getting the lockout as if you where moving, it only happens once in awhile
anyone experience this?

If I had to do over again, and from every thing I have read, I would take it back to the dealer and insist they adjust it.
The only thing I can think of that changed is that the shifter cable stretched. IMO.

This is a common 997 quirk even w/o the short shift and it happens to me every so often as well (it's a little embarrasing when sitting at a light and can't get into first without either engaging the clutch or engaging second then shifting into first)...there are tons of threads regarding this on the various porsche sites where some say it's a simple adjustment and other tech people say its due to the double cone synchro in first. Since it's a relatively rare occurence and a rather common issue I have learned to live with it.

True, but the problem with the 997 is sometimes it won't let you in at a complete stop...
