My other friend with the 3.4 also uses the 987 five speed and both believe the 987 transmission is stronger than the 986. Externally it looks the same as a 986 gearbox though. I believe the transmission code on top of the bellhousing for a 987 is GAL
So funny to see that much suspension travel in a Boxster.

One thing about the Brits is they are true enthusiasts.

Wizard - Rock on. That car has to be a hoot!
