Not uncommon......I think Porsche upgraded them ie the replacement part is better than the original (from memory) and there is an 'upgrade" option, search numeric racing :thumb:

It is a common thing. the linkage sits behind the rear wheel which gets wet and the plastic cup cracks popping the linkage off.. there are things you can buy to keep the linkage attached for around £100.

Have new cables and invest in them is what my partner did for her Boxster. :thumb:

Its the silver part around the linkage..

When the cables go, it's usually the actual cable snapping. not the cup on the end popping. Ask me how I know!

OK, I'll tell you. I had those clamps fitted. And then a little while later my cable snapped.
