Not sure what year Boxster you have. Older ones have a different transmission than newer ones. The older ones have 1/2 moon driven gear and all metal gears internally and also have a microswitch in the B-pillar. Newer ones have plastic full gears and the microswitch built into the transmission.
Anyways, I have the older style transmission and the gears were in great shape. I re-greased everything and put it back together. After following the service manual instructions properly (and some support from this here forum posts) I was able to get it all working great again.
Not sure if that helps out. But anyways, I'd start with the arms and cable inspections before I went chasing down the transmissions as well.
