993 RS 2nd gear dog teeth ???

[Cookie Porsche]

I have a 993RS (1996). G50 6 speed.

The 2nd gear dogs (gear teeth) are gone.

I can see here on PP that I can buy 3rd-6th dogs - why not the dogs for 2nd...

Do I have to buy a new 2nd gear set?

Can anyone help - who do I call for aftermarket dogs?

Regards, Tom

New factory teeth must be heliarc welded onto 6-speed 1st & 2nd idler gears. This is best left to those experienced with this specific repair. 3rd - 6th gears accept press-on synchro teeth .... just like the 5-speed 1st - 5th. Even these should get a few small spot welds as insurance, although you can usually get away without this on the G50 (& later) series.

Not all G50 6-speeds have both 1st and 2nd on the main shaft. You can get a new main shaft with just 1st on it and then add whatever you want for 2nd. If you want steel synchro's, be warned that the synchro's for 2nd are about $1400 while the brass are about $50.

All of the g50.31/32/33 which came w/ 993RS models and the g50.30 which came w/ the Cup cars, have the separate 2^nd gear and steel syncros 1-6

gotta love that 2^nd gear synro
