Tranny Popped today.....Update!!!
AHHHHH.. Tranny went today under normal driving conditions. My guy thinks possibly the ring gear.. Was just driving in second and heard a huge pop and it was over..
Has anyone put a 6speed to a 2.5 motor yet? If so are there any differences?
Any ratio problems? :ah:

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
