Does the transmission pull straight off the engine? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Thank you all for your help. Thanks to your suggestions I found the missing nut. It was covered in almost a centimetre of gunk from the RMS or IMS cover. After literally digging it out the transmission came out a lot easier

. Before I found it I jacked the car level, so I have no Idea if I could have slid it off with the nose pointing down.

Been there, done that.

Now, I'll give you a hot tip about re-installation - be sure that you have the dowels/pins aligned and that there is one on each side or you'll get it to within 3/8" and won't be able to close the gap.
