996 Turbo Cabriolet 2004 model year 40,200 miles; After planting it in first I skipped a few cogs and went for 5th but the lift off weight transfer a pot hole and my left arm conspired to jam the lever hard into 5th with a horrible graunch like gears grinding. Then I couldn't select 6th. After trying for 6th I couldn't get 1st or 2nd, unless I went back into 5th and went sequentially down through the gears. Avoiding trying to select 6th meant that I was able to get the car home albeit at rather higher revs at the legal limit. Reverse is fine too. What has broken? I am hoping someone will say that it is a selector cable and not that I will need a new box at a family home mortgaging £14,000. (and that is from design 911)
 
Thanks for the quick reply. The 996 turbo gearbox should be pretty strong and it should take more than that to break it internally. Fingers crossed.
