But if anyone has more info, please post.
Thanks

Yes: forget about it. In order to change a tip car over to a manual, you are going to need to nearly disassemble the entire car, including the interior. And when you are done, you will have a "Frankenstein" car with little if any resale value.

If you want a manual Boxster, go out and buy one; trying to swap one is a nightmare and "the view is definitely not worth the climb"..............

I am NOT doing a swap auto for manual, I simply stated I needed to watch the "manual trans removal video", to see what supports and attachments needed to be removed from under the car. Any auto trans videos I found, show the engine/trans already on the bench, but I was looking for a video showing the replacement of the bad auto trans for a good auto trans.
Thanks for your input, as all info is helpful.
