Broken top...

Today while lowering the top of my 97 boxster after work, the top stopped half down. I could still hear the motor hum when i pushed the button, but the top would not move. A helping "friend" tried to budge the top, which resulted in 2 broken push rods (but i was able to get the top back up and drive home). My questions are:

1. does this sound like a transmition malfunction? where can i find tips on replacing the transmission(s)? are there 2 on this model? How do i know which is bad, or should i replace both while i'm at it? what do they cost?
2. how easy are the push rods to replace? what are their costs? is there a difference between the left and right?

Any help or guidance is much appreciated!
