If you are
experiencing difficulty shifting gears despite oil changes,
then your Porsche may be in need of a gearbox overhaul. Difficulty
in changing gear, or if the shift lever jumps out of gear while
driving, tends to point to worn syncromeshes . These help the
gears to engage smoothly and are usually made of a soft metal
such as brass which means that they are more likely to wear
than the steel gears. If a gearbox has not been regularly serviced,
then the oil becomes contaminated with metal particles which
can increase wear of the gearbox bearings. the result is a noisy
gearbox which generates more heat which in-turn causes more
wear to occur. At 9m we can rebuild your gearbox to its original
spec using genuine Porsche parts, or if you prefer, we can offer
alternative gear ratios which will enhance your driving experience.
One things is for sure, your rebuilt gearbox will be better
than new !
For the owners of Porsche models fitted with a turbo, 9m can
recondition your tired turbo and restore the performance to
your car. Symptoms of a failing turbo are: Blue Smoke from the
exhaust, louder whistling noise coming from the engine bay while
engine is under load, increased turbo lag or a loss in power.
If you experience any of these symptoms then feel free to call
us for an informal chat and we will do our best to steer you
in the right direction. We can even upgrade your turbo and in
this case would recommend that you contact our racing
