Ok I´m getting nauseous at this point... but thanks, I guess

Also, see the chart in this article: Pelican Technical Article: Boxster Intermediate Shaft Bearing Replacement and Upgrade (IMS) - 986 Boxster (1997-04) - 987 Boxster (2005-06)

I have a 2000S and it has the dual row bearing. The engine number is stamped on the bottom of the block near the sump plate. Good luck!

I need my engine number first, this sticker on my passenger doorside didn´t help much (there was no sticker on the drivers doorside)
