I purchased the items listed below but not certain all will be needed. If I'm missing something please chime in. I'll have access to a car lift so I work above and stand below the car if needed.

Any input would be really appreciated.


Aos replacement, rear main seal, IMS retrofit (if it's cost effective for you), and check the clutch , pressure plate, and flywheel for wear. Might just want to replace it if you aren't too fond of dropping the tranny again in your near future.
Check the oil filler tube leading from the trunk. This was a source of engine failure in our boxster as the tube was broken and the oil we would add to the engine would dump straight onto the floor.
