I ventured north to the PCGB trackday at Oulton Park yesterday. I stayed at a local hotel the previous night and woke up to a cold morning and a gearbox that refused to go into gear, and when I eventually found 2nd it stayed there until I got to the track. Once warm, the gearbox was flawless, and the car was great on track.
I haven't heard of this problem before and have never seen it mentioned on the various 993 forums...and then I did a search on here to find it was widely discussed 10 years ago with the famous Baz from Hartech advising on changing gearbox oil and not to use additives. Others recommended letting the engine warm up for 10 minutes.
Presumably, the reason I haven't heard of this issue is because no-one drives their 993 in winter?javascript:emoticon(':lol:')
P.S. loads of 991 GT3s on track - and they are too fast
P.P.S. - instructor asked if I had considered M030 sports suspension. Any thoughts?
