Loctite 574 arrived this afternoon. Transmission is reassembled torqued to 18 ft-lbs. DOF IMS bearing when an install kit arrives and then back on the road again!

Just a data point that illustrates the significance of your DIY repair of the 6 speed gearbox - the local Porsche engine/trans repair shop estimates a basic charge of $3500 to do the 2 mainshaft bearings and second gear.The "while we're in there" items would be extra -like the CMS arrester. http://rennlist.com/forums/boxster-and-boxster-s-986-forum/820682-transmission-repair.html
So thanks for posting your project.Yours is one of very few gearbox projects detailed.

I started doing these 4 years ago (this way) and FYI the seal I use is a standard issue 915/901 shift shaft seal.

Glad to see someone else figured it out Everyone wants to sell us the "shift selector" whatever... they don't wear out.

Car reassembled last night. Transmission shifting smoothly and confidently. Second gear seems rock solid on both max acceleration and deceleration. My fingers are crossed, but there seems to be no evidence of any transmission issues!
