My name is Randy. I'm 24, from Seattle, WA . My dad was a mechanic his whole life so i have a tiny bit of backyard mechanic skills. He sold me his boxster S after purchasing a 05 996 turbo S, and a few months later, I ruin the clutch.

Once again, apologies for coming off the way I did.
Nice to meet you Randy. The suggestions of additional things to do while the trans is out aren't a must, but as your dad can well tell you the key to keeping these cars on the road is preventative maintenance.

Since it was his car, he can tell you if the AOS, water pump, coolant tank have been done. Those jobs are tight spaces jobs (especially expansion tank and aos) and with all that room to work if they haven't been done now is the time to do it.
