Hello

I have a 1998 Porsche 911. Apologies if this offends. I've seen a lot of knowledgeable chatter about the G96 box in this section of the forum as I believe you use them or can use them in your cars. So mine has recently disintegrated. My chosen Porsche garage tell me the selector fork bolt has snapped off and lots of debris in the oil and appears that the crown wheel and pinion have destroyed themselves hence locking up when reversing and not going into 1st. Pics below.

They say it is not economical to rebuild so suggest a second hand unit.

Is there anyone in uk or further afield who could repair my box or supply me a better replacement than just one off another old car like mine?

I'm anxious that any second hand unit will be 20 years old like mine. There is one on eBay now for £2700 and I've also found a G96.01 in Germany for EUR 2500 which might fit but isn't identical.

I'm just wandering if you guys agree begore i toss 4 grand at an unknown 2nd hand box plus fitting and what not?

Thanks
