Transmission Rebuild? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

As much as I want to be patient, it's hard to be, as i feel like this is going to be needed sooner than later.

Seventythree, you seem to have the same view on this as i do, however all the other guys at the shop i work for seemed to suggest replacing everything else at once "since you're in there"... Meh, seems like a waste of money to me.

But this still doesn't answer my biggest concern; Are there special tools to open/unbuilding the trans?

G Box fixed my 2nd gear grind as well 2.5 years ago now all I have to do is warm the car for 90 seconds or so and shifts pretty smooth into second all other gears were and are fine. From what I've read here the 6-speeds grinding into second is a common problem that G Box has figured a fix which Porsche itself has not. Lots of posts on here about G Box. Good luck.

I still have mine.. Never even tried to market it other than just a couple of posts mentioning it here.

I'll ship it to you, you install it and if you don't like it just pay the shipping and I'll refund the rest of the money. Thats the only way to be fair when we sell something used; because I have a short fuse when it comes with complaints about any used part :-) I avoid the scenarios at all costs.
