Just did my IMS in my 2002 Boxster S and after putting everything back I've got a low idle clatter and noticble vibration from the drivetrain. Engine revs fine and with the clutch in the noise goes away but is still there slightly.

Sounds like it is coming from the transaxle and more near the rear than clutch. Could I have broken the gearbox somehow? Seems to go into all the gears fine. When pulling off in 1st gear at low idle the drivetrain vibrations are fairly severe.

Any clues?

I will try and upload a video too.
