I've called some different Porsche shops and they say don't worry about the reverse issue, it is completely normal. And honestly, as long as you delay shifting into reverse after depressing the clutch, it shifts OK.
Its the 2nd and 3rd grinding that is bugging me. I read a lot of places on the internet that say the synchros on these transmissions is a weak point and that you basically have to baby it when shifting. I am OK with that as long as I am hearing from people who are experienced.
I don't want to have to tear down the transmission if this is a normal characteristic since there sounds like there would be a slim chance it would fix it.
Can anyone give me a recommendation on gear oil? What number Swepco? Do you think putting a thicker tranmission fluid such as redline heavy shockproof gear oil in it will help?
