997 gt3 gearbox noise

[bridey0]

Had delivered my 997 gt3 and once out in her I noticed she makes a massive crunch going into 6th. The cars got a 2nd warranty so I'm sure no hassles but seems odd it wasn't spotted in the 111 check b4 warranty and prep.
I'm taking it to my local OPC this am to have someone check it over. Cars done 25,000 miles

Well just so you know they 'DON'T all do that sir', so should be no argument about getting it fixed at least.

I thought as much tks . Will be having a stern word with the supplying OPC about that and the annoying dash rattle on acceleration!

Just to follow up, went to OPC colchester who confirmed all is not well. They will be in talks next week!

6th only or other gears too?
Hopefully it's just a case of the shifter needing adjusted.
6th isn't usually the first gear to show issues, unless it's lack of use issues.

That being said anythings possible.

Fwiw. The magic in these engines comes with revs. Takes a bit of getting used to depending what you've driven before. It's just getting woken up when you normally shift.

Nope it's just 6th gear and makes a proper racket. The suspension noise isn't right either so that gonna get the once over too.
I'm not really one to complain but it's pretty rubbish given their own stipulations on renewing warranties.,
U gotta think Porsche GB wouldn't be happy to hear about this
