What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Thanks!

16" from the floor to the jack points with a 3.7" low profile transmission jack. It came out with plenty of wiggle room. If you took the rear bumper off, you wouldn't even need it that high, but it does help when crawling around under there. After I got the muffler out, I could actually sit under the car cross-legged with my head where the muffler was. With the trans out, I could sit to work on the clutch.

Not nearly as high as I've read others say it needs to be.

Thanks, for the measurement info!

Did the "horn fix" using the #31 o-rings on my '98 Boxster. Took my time and still finished in under 30 minutes. Wish all fixes were that easy! Earlier this week replaced my 13 year old tires with new Michelin Pilots. What a difference.

I did the same job yesterday as well, but this time I used as JFP's suggestion to use guiding hex bolts with their heads cut off, well.. it went pretty smooth, it works very well along with the transmission jack, thanks JFP!

PS: I am not sure about the height (picture), but today I have a very sore neck, and no not at all from the transmission, but by bolting the slave to the transmission... now, just waiting for the coilovers to arrive for me to be back on the road
