markk Registered User Join Date: Jun 2002 Location: Holland Posts: 140	I've driven a 2.7l 5-speed before I bough the BoxsterS. Actually I was first given a BoxsterS tip to testdrive and came back "no way". Then I was given the 2.7l 5-speed and was sold. Ordered the S and few months later testdrove a 2.5 5-speed and an S six-speed with 18" and ROW030. Based on those experiences I made all options on the S final. So it's a long time ago when I really drove a 2.7 5-speed. And yes it does make sence that the 6-speed tranny wasn't specially designed for the boxster. However that doesn't automatically means its wrong !!! My experience with the 6-speed is that am very happy with it, without any problems in gear-ratios. I think they are right for the S engine, and IMHO there is nowhere a drop to much / low in revs when you shift. I'm still open for debate but you have to come up with something more than "it wasn't designed for the Boxster". It's true but than again, that goes for a lot of things. The S-brakes, the front up to the A-style, the crank, etc., etc. Mark.
