Hi guys i' m from italy.
My name is bongi.

Well since i was 6.... I'd like to buy a 911.
Yesterday i've bought a 125.000 km 996 convertibile.
She's wooooooooo, blue and tabacco interior.
There is only one problem.... Gearbox open cause she has the reverse and the first shift ko.
I'think i'll recive the car by a week to start the restoring.
Does someone of you have any idea?.
1 how to raise the car in safety?
2 how to procede with the Gearbox?

Thanks friends
Il bongi

Ciao Bongi, auguri della machina, dove sie in Italia?
Il problema che chai e la distanza... qui nella America abbiamo tutto che vogliamo ma si paga. A Europa non e solo la distanza ma la moneta. Devi pagare il doppio se vuoi qualche cosa da qui.
La transmisione si puo capitare ma non volgia per sperirla da te. Se si parla dei pezzi si puo mandare ma se non che l'officina sei nelle guai!

Un puo pu informatione sull problema se puo dare un aviso.

ps Il libro sulla 996 sara buono.

When you remove the transmission check the IMS and replace it then.

Ciao bongi! Whereabouts in Italy are you from? If you need help with your 996 we have some great tech articles here (IMS DIY in there as well), as someone pointed out above. If you need anything please let me know!

You could try Hartech in the UK, they have designed their own, and they are a well trusted engineering company. I'd have one of theirs over an LN ceramic one.

That's great to hear. We do sell the IMS bearings here and ship to Italy if you don't find anything local to you.
