[3_Angels]

2002 Boxster S - Purchased 12/2/2013 eCarOne Carrollton, TX 75006

WP0CB29802U664290 96918 miles

97500 mi @ Albuquerque (I am 67)

1) Replaced Motor mount
2) Installed GBox 2nd gear detent
3) Changed Oil and Filter (magnetic plug installed)
4) Changed Transmission oil
5) Replaced cabin and engine filters
6) Cleaned engine for observation

Issues:

1) Metal filing in oil filter (maybe drive 1000mi & change oil again?)

2) Oil on top of engine (Cleaned engine and watching for oil) (check AOS hose? -- which one?)

3) Second gear still pops out when cold? (am I doomed to rebuild this Trans?)

4) Driver side top wire does not seat properly (is this just an adjustment?)

5) Passenger side top tensioner missing (on order Pelican)

6) Passenger side top ball joint stud missing (? order from Denmark?)

7) How to remove windstop? (someone local must know?)

8) Cup holder stuck? (is there an easy way without removing panel?)

9) Driver seat tear (replace just the torn parts?)

10) Driver seat will not fold forward (do I have to take the seat out?)

11) Fabric clip broken (what does this fabric fence do?)

Any hints for resolutions would be appreciated by this old man
