I feel your pain. I had nearly a full rebuild done on my 915 (all bearings, syncros, dog teeth, sliders, etc.). The wrench that owns the shop is a Germany guy who has a certificate hanging from his wall stating he is a "Certified Porsche Mechanic." He told me he worked in the Porsche Factory in Stuttgart Germany for two years and was very experience in 915 trannys. Well they ended up dropping the engine/tranny five times before all the issues were addressed including the bad gasket and to tell you the truth the tranny still does not shift smooth. I hesitate between each shift and about 50% of the time regardless of the gear I'm going into either up or down, it feels like it is binding and I have to force it in. He also was very accomodating in trying to fix everything and I know he did not make a dime on me. However I will never give him another piece of business. As JW says, 915s are not brain surgery.

If I were you, I would contact him and make him fix it correctly, then find a new wrench.

Good luck!
