Finally got to open my 996 up earlier whrn traffic cleared & just before the redline in 2nd I went for 3rd and...
Well, it wouldn't go in.

I was going up a steep hill so I decided to use the momentum I had to get it on the verge out of the way & try to work out what was going on.

With the engine OFF it will go into gear no problem, start the engine however & it flatly refuses to go into gear?

Called the RAC, 75mins later they arrive & the RAC man is as baffled as me, towed me the 5mls to Oaktree Garage behind his Transit van on a solid bar (that was an experience!).

What am I likely to hear from Oaktree when they get to look at it, anybody got any ideas? The clutch pedal feels fine, there was no bang or anything when it went?

Can't you wait?

Sounds like clutch to me.

...or a release bearing issue which equals clutch anyway since you would change the clutch whilst at it as well as Rear Main Seal...

(all best guess from me...if you are lucky it might be something more benign)

It will be about a week before they can look at it so I have a week to save up! Fingers crossed it's something minor...
