Grinding and sticky gears

Stick with the basics and check your master and slave cylinders before you go changing fluids and engine mounts.

Double de-clutch in the meantime to avoid the crunching.

Where is the master and slave cylinder located?

I really need to get one of those porsche manual books.

Wayne at Pelican Parts has a good technical article here:

Pelican Technical Article: Boxster Clutch Hydraulics Overhaul (Boxster Master Cylinder & Boxster Slave Cylinder Replacement) - 986 / 987

It's part of his "101 Projects for Your Porsche Boxster" manual:

Pelican Parts - Product Information: BK-145835

Check to see if any fluid is leaking from either cylinder. If they both look fine, you (or your indie) could try bleeding the system.
