Josh,
Well done for tackling a job that few have written about. It is the biggest 'secret' about the Boxster S and 6 speed 996.
There is a little info in Search but very little about the big problems:
1. The cost of the replacement parts is eye watering
2. The puller & press required is daunting
3. You need special tool made(doable) to insert before you start with the puller/press.
This is not a task for the feint hearted or novice transmission rebuilders.
If you are really going to dismantle and remove worn bearings and replace the 2nd gear, there is much reading and research to do. I have done some of that work and am pleased to share but still have some big holes in my knowledge.
Did you do the simple 'sticky finger' test to determine if the seals on the bearings have failed? It would be a pity to do all the 2nd gear work and then have to re-do because of failed bearings.
Is the dog ring on 2nd visibly worn? Was it poping out of 2nd gear ?
