Not yet. Had planned to do a clutch and drop trans off to have this fixed but never found time. Things are crazy busy. Other than this, car is 100% great!!

Lever leak
mine has leaked for 3.5 years ...on this forum someone puts new sleeve in old bell for 600 bucks. Was told 3 years ago that second will get notchey (which it is sort of?) then I would surely loose second all together! Still have not lost 2nd...seems to leek a little more after ln bearing install, maybe indy changed gear oil but I doubt it. Timco , how are you going to repair it when you do?

So you drive your Boxster more than your Turbo?

Had 2 trans companies say they can machine in or replace that bearing as they do old farm equipment which is obsolete and repair is the only option all the time. Even a local Indy said he could do that.
Worst case a new trans housing is $900.

118,00 MY 2000 S, LN IMS, RMS and clutch as PM at 106K. Orig IMS looked very good with no oil leaking in bearing. AOS, water pump, t-stat, new top, all at about 95K. Next will be some rear bushings and shocks.
Car drives great and love every min of it. She still looks new and people are shocked when they ask what year it is they think it's a new car still.
