Sounds like COMPLETE BS. It's very easy to tell if the car is North American or RoW (Rest of World) spec, and yes, they made Seal Gray cars for both markets.

Given how difficult it is now (really since the early to mid 90s) to import so called "gray market" cars, I would be EXTREMELY surprised if yours was not US spec.

In terms of your clutch, either way, the RoW and US spec cars use the same clutch components, so this is clearly BS.

On a side note, who did you have freshen your gearbox?

Please tell us you didn't take it to aamco Midas or some similar rip off joint. Cfind a dealer or Porsche specialist if u can. I found a Porsche specialist independent mechanic and they do great work, know these cars well, ablnd they are honest and reasonable for pricing. Good luck.

Enjoy your boxster! They are somuch fun

Uh the dealer? Yeah their not overpriced on their parts or labor. You're half right at least. Best and cheapest way to get the clutch done (other than DIY) is buy an OEM unit online for $300 or so and take it to your friendly Indy Porsche mechanic.
