My 2001 boxster s has made that rattle since I bought it in 2011 with 64,000 km. on it. 10 years later at 105,000 km I have quit worrying about it. Foolishly maybe but heck I still have the original...

My 2001 Boxster S shifts like yours. It takes 10 minutes of warming up before it turns from stiff peanut butter to warm mayonnaise....I assume they are all like that? Anyone else?
