this is awesome. file saved.
my 2nd gear is fine (for now) but i'm sure some people want to know how much its going to cost them to ship their transmission to you.

lol, that is funny. It was all worth it and it is everytime I put the car in second and accelerate!

YeeHaw!

Thanks for the encouraging words.

Does anyone have a copy of the article. Rebuilding 2nd gear on a 996 and need to do the same job. Thanks!

Thanks for reaching out. I have 20k miles on the car since the repair and it has NEVER slipped a gear and is still running as smooth as butter.

Here is a Dropbox link to all documents I used as well as an article that my friend and I put together to describe the process.

Amile,
I am not an expert but:
AFAIK ,the 6 speed transaxle in the Boxster S & the 996 is largely the same internally.It is the Getrag G466.That is the # for the whole transaxle not just the gearbox. The rear of the gearbox case is different because of the different mounting.
Just be careful you don't confuse the 5 speed G86.00 &G86.01 in the base Boxster with the G86.02 6 speed in the S. They are not the same.
The 996/Carrera gearbox is referred to as G96.00 & G96.01
The G96.50 and up are totally different(GT3 etc)

It would be good to have a definitive correction to all these part numbers!
