Hi,

Got a very well looked after used Boxster 987

However from day one I feel that the manual gearbox is a bit sloppy (especially after my previous bmw), easily wobbles in neutral.

Plus, sometimes I can't put it on first gear from stationary and I have to release the clutch and press it again for the first gear to work.

Common behaviour or potential problems?

Thanks

Been to a specialist.

Have been told that on Boxsters it's normal for the gearbox to feel a bit sloppy like mine, while on Boxsters S it usually feels more firm/stiff.

Also been told that Boxsters often have problems with selecting the second gear (not as much first gear though like mine) which been told is normal.
