2007 Boxster - $6k worth of repairs

[particlewave]

AOS is an easy DIY.
After you replace that yourself, get under the car and see if and how bad the others are. RMS is a big job as the transmission needs to be removed, but the axle and pan gasket are both easy DIY fixes.

All of the repairs can be done by a moderate DIYer, certainly by a competent mechanic.

I'm a DIY. Replaced my AOS in <2 hours. Part ~$125.

I'll be pulling my own transmission pan. Parts ~$90. Fluid ~$60.

Those 2 you could do yourself. Save the quid for upgrades... mods... and beer. When it comes time for axle work... I'll be consulting the forum.

The RMS. Ouch.

Good luck.

As others have said, the AOS is a DIY job. Suncoast has them for the best price - less than $100. You'll add a stack of $1s to the swear jar, but way cheaper than $8 bills.

The RMS charge is WAY over priced.
