I would shop around and take the car to a specialized shop, I believe that this would save money and you will have a repair done properly the first time.

Good luck!

I found a shop in Colton... 65 miles away... $350 tow. That'd be on top of the $300 I paid to have it towed to my driveway.

Who wants to spend a Saturday or Sunday morning helping me remove this transmission? I simply don't have the confidence, and would hate to fack something up. Breakfast on me and all the mimosas you can handle.

Anyone?

Yes, something like this is what I had in mind, sorry that was not clear enough.

I just took out my Tip earlier this year and have recently installed it. So I’m familiar with the process and have the necessary special Porsche tools that the Bentley manual calls for. Let me know if you need any pointers.
