Dude--is the Porsche back in business as well? Does the shifter coming off and staying in your hand happen a lot with those cars? Was the dealer like "Oh yeah, we just fixed that on another TT model yesterday"---? Better than the steering wheel I suppose.

Glad to hear it was just a plug brother---was it on the same cylinder that lost the head gasket by chance?

Hey Doug, yes the stupid Porsche was a fairly quick fix. Luckily I found a short-shift kit the next day and picked it up same day. And it was a B&M product, which was on my car when I got it, and apparently this is not that uncommon.

Junk I guess.

Oh, and I avoid the stealership like the plague.

Not sure on which plug - I am vaca and Jason and I just exchanged texts... I wouldn't think they would be related since we addressed the area where the head gasket was compromised.

Hope to get dyno numbers soon!

Thank you Dave.

Yes, it was quite a day having the Camaro essentially have too many issues to dyno tune in Sacramento, and then the Porsche leaving me stranded a few hours later in Berkeley. Pics of B&M short shift kit below... I replaced with another brand.
