 have an '02 996 TT that I bought almost two years ago.  It is a
Certified
: Pre-Owned  (had 18,200 miles) and is equipped with the manual 
transmission.
:
: Soon after I got it, I started to notice that while de-accelerating in
2nd
: gear, the gear****ft would "pop" out of gear and into neutral.   If I
kept
: light pressure on the gear****ft with my hand, it would be fine.

: Since the 2 year CPO warranty was about to run out, I brought it back to

the

to
: remove the transmission and replace a gear.  Fortunately, it is fully
: covered by the ****sche CPO warranty.

the

: particular weakness of this transmission?  20,200 miles seems rather low

to
: be having transmission issues.

I suspect the tranny in the 996 TT is a standard 996 tranny (probably same

as a 997 tranny).
