Mike, unfortunately, I had near the EXACT same experience with my car and the outcome. After learning from my battle several things....1. saying you tracked the car immediately kills your fight and accuses you of car abuse (I dont agree with this stuff, just reporting).....2. The over rev error proves it to Porsche, again, no contest you loose....3. these trannies can be rebuilt way better (ie steel syncros, ect) for way cheaper.....WAY CHEAPER than a "new tranny"
Brian Copans THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY (513-779-3302) quoted me about 3k from the time he receives it and sends it back (obviously the removal and install is on you) can also try Roger Brown at Powerhaus 303-442-4327. I have talked to both of these guys (alot) and both took alot of time with me and were very nice and I learned alot. Call them both.
Bottom line, get your tranny rebuilt with steel syncros, I paid the dealer 5k total for the entire job (also ask dealer for good faith deal or some decreased cost, mine knocked off 15%).
Stick with THAT car and model I still think after all was said and done love my car and would not have any other!! Dont tell people you track the car ever.
ps...great time to upgrade your clutch(todays problem is tomorrows upgrade) and the labor on this is basically free since tranny is out!
Call me if you need more advice or therapy........cell 813-731-7493
good luck
tom
