Geir: Were the bits of metal in the
Engine oil filter or the
Transmission filter?

As I have seen the different between A8600-101 and A8600-102 is LDS.
But I haven`t seen anything about 103? Is a used gearbox for sale here i Norway, but it`s a A8600-103.

I am pretty sure that the reference to the LSD in this post:
http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/47018-gearbox-code-numbers.html is only regarding the manual transmission. The Manual transmissions did have a change in 1999 (code CWA to code DVY), but not the tiptronics.
My service manual states that the A8600 transmissions apply to all of the 1997 to 1999 tiptronic Boxsters. The -101, -102, and -103 are not mentioned in the service manual. For the tiptronics, I think that they are a reference to the year of manufacture.
