Sweet Meir! Excited to hear what you think.

And Dlirium, sorry I missed your post. It was easy enough - just a tight spot. It's only held in with spring pressure, so it's just wiggling it around. Once you get your head in there it will be clear and easy. A vice made it very easy to get the old spring out, new one went in with hand pressure. I put some loctite on both ends of the spring because it looked like there was something similar in there before. Don't know if I should have or not, but no issues.

My pro-tip: masking tape over the trunk latches on the door sill. I may or may not know for a fact that you can hook a belt loop on one of the handles and find yourself quite stuck with your arms up in the dash and your butt locked in place. Just so glad I got out before my wife wandered by and took a picture.

Still love it, by the way. My dad (PO) drove it a couple days ago - between the exhaust, 997 shifter, and this clutch spring I think he was missing this ol' base Boxster.

Edit to add: Meir, sorry it took so long - they said it would just be a few days. TRK, did you get yours yet? I imagine not if Meir just got his.
