Sorry to hear about your transmission, keep us posted on what you end up doing. BTW, does anyone know if there is a weight difference in the 5-speed vs the 6-speed transmission in our cars?

I don't know about the 986 but for the 987 it is:
Boxster
2,855 pounds
2,987 Tip
Boxster S
2,965 pounds
3,053 Tip
The Tip is a 5-speed in both
The Boxster is a 5-speed manny tranny, while the Boxster S is a 6-speed.

tranny probs
i learned this the hard way......
you can have a 5-speed tranny and the tip serviced / rebuilt
you can only have the 6 speed replaced, close to $4k
since you have a 2.5, consider yourself lucky

cv - flexible connection between tranny and axle.
As a test:
put on emergency brake
start engine
put tranny in any gear & let out clutch
have someone watch cv joint
if cv joint is bad, the joint will rotate, however axle will not
