Hi Guys

Following on from my previous post, highlighting the vast amount of work I completed on my 987 Boxster at Porsche Centre workshop, I wanted to throw out another question please.

When I roll into 1st gear I can easily hear the linkage mechanism, also when removing from 1st or 2nd and going into neutral, is this because the engine is literally right behind my head or could this be an issue with the gear box gear linkage? Should the car slipping in and out of gears be loud enough for me to hear? Other cars are autos so I'm out of practise lol

Any advice welcome as always.

Thanks again

Thankyou that really eases my concern, if I was to say to you there was an electric noice up to about the 3k rpm and then the deep lovely grunt kicks in would that also sound normal to you? My friend who had a Cayman said his did this also but I'm just looking for confirmation? Thanks
