Ian, I saw your message and I took the car to a transmission shop. This is more then I can work on. The price is going to be up there. They said maybe $2500 to rebuild what is there, and maybe $2000 more for a used transmission. They said they would just sell it with a bad tranny. I enjoy doing the little things, but am not mechanically inclined.

Marty,
I've noticed that you have several postings going that cover a multitude of issues. Transmission, brakes, engine squeak, etc. Sorry you are having so many problems. I know you just got your Boxster, but from the sounds of it you may want to cut your losses and move to another vehicle. If that is the decision you make I may be able to help. Just send me a PM, I buy Boxsters needing work frequently and am located in your neighboring state so logistics will be simple.

Thanks, Joe

I had the transmission fixed at $3500 and a new brake booster installed. Is that a good price.

I am looking to sell it. It drives but sets in my garage. It is still having some transmission problems, and the bendingin and out kills me. I have listed on Craigslist in Des Moines, Iowa. Call me at 515-202-4462 or email me at****mtalarico1@aol.com****if you have any questions.
Thanks
Marty
