Porsche 911 targa at idle it would spit and drop off but not stall .it drives and revs fine
It could be something simple like bad spark plugs, clogged air filter, or bad gas. Start troubleshooting there first and see if the problem gets any better.

check the gear oil in the transmission Porsche is notorious for trans problems, and it wouldn't surprise me if it was leaking. too low a fluid and it will not go into any gear but the one that was last selected.

95 911 wing is stuck in the up position
Hello there
Your problem could be the rear gear is broken.It is located on the left inside your tail under the plastic cover.To remove use phillips screwdriver and try to diconect the gear cable.If the wing goes down it is the gear.If not the gear try to lok for an relay which is on pass.side under the dash-behing knee pad.This relay controls the manual and an electric operation.

The most problem with 915 transmission is that your 1st synchro ring is broken or the so called Doog teeth are gone ... the trany has to be fixed.

Transmission problem. The clutch does not discriminate. If the clutch was the cause rthe symptom would be in all gears.
