For a few years now the switch in my /6 has been declining in its ability to get past the run position to the start position. It can take upwards of 10 tries to engage starter. I finally ordered a new electrical portion believing that to be the issue. Now that i have the electrical part removed I see that the issue is in the mechanical part. Has anyone had one apart to see if they are repairable? Its now gone to a much more difficult fix removing shear pins and the switch than just the easy fix. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks, Jule |

I spoke with porsche dealer as this is supposedly a special order, ? keyed to your vin. Is it possible to change the tumbler assembly on a used one? Or am I stuck going with porsche? It is the same ignition interlock that is used in 911 up thru 98 I believe.
Thanks, Jule |

He did mine took a while but he was rekeying everything and he was very busy. Make sure you call and talk to him. |
