Having said that it is a bit of a basket case as the PO was going to use it as a track car so most of the interior is disassembled, headlight motor is out of the car etc.
Basically the car needs some of everything which is why I bought it so my kids can learn how to do stuff! And if they scratch it, dent it etc. who cares!!!!
So far I have driven it about 70 miles 30 of which were on the highway at 70ish mph and the car felt smooth. Already got a thumbs up from a new 911 owner on the way to work yesterday.
So...my trans question.
I have driven the car about 4 times including the test drive. each time the car has ssat for hours so had time to cool down.
Everytime I have driven it I can go up through the gears and down through the gears 3-4 times without issue. After that it will start to grind 2nd gear.
This has to be a fluid "issue" right? The oil thins when warm so lubrication decreases?

You can check/change the fluid but it sounds like 2nd gear synchro or the 1/2 gears slider is worn out. Shoot me an email if interested in a replacement or servicing the transmission.
