A G50 can suffer from a missed shift, the same as a 915. I know a few people who opened their wallets to rebuild >86 3.2's.
I find that the trans is part of the Porsche charm.

The issue with my "85's shifter woes is not from slop in either the shifter handle or gates, or worn coupler bushings, but from the "wall" that's hit from the synchro itself. If Porsche's engineering in the design/manufacturing stage of the shifter was sound to begin with, and hadn't undergone any fundamental improvements over multiple year models, there wouldn't be such a variety of aftermarket parts to fix the issues. Sheesh, despite all the Lucas electrical and oil leakage problems with vintage British sportscars, at least my former '53 MGTD's short throw with positive detents shifted like a dream. I wonder what took Porsche so long to work this stuff out.
