rear diagonal brace removal question

[mountainman]

got it done. As you said, no problem, just a little time and aligning the holes. The transmission fluid was pretty nasty. Not burnt, but very black and a bit og sludge in the bottom of the pan. No metal particles at all but really needed changing. Got about 4 liters drained out and replaced. No roadtest yet, but will do that tomorrow.

Not sure where your drain plug is on a Tip, but on my 6-speed, I took a hole saw and just drilled a 2" dia hole in the stupid plate - something the Porsche engineers overlooked. Works like a charm and I can drain and refill the trans in 30 minutes, without removing 2 dozen fasteners.

Porsche purists would be horrified, but as Stefan Wilkinson wrote in The Gold-Plated Porsche - purists are a pain in the ass, hahaha.
