Finally at the point where I can remove the transmission. This entire episode is a how-to on removing the transmission from my 2000 Boxster S.

As always, this video represents my personal experience as a Porsche enthusiast. I am not a professional and will not take responsibility for your actions if you injure yourself or end up dead. Use your own judgement and good sense when working on cars. Caveat Emptor.
So my 1999, 5 speed is missing bolt "G". I thought it might be from some previous repair but after doing some searching on the interweb it seems quite a few cars are out there missing the same bolt from factory. Not sure if "G" bolt guy was sick for a few days or if they just ran out. I'll see if Porsche has any insight on this tomorrow. In the mean time if your doing this job and you find an empty bolt hole, DON'T PANIC.
Thanks again Ben great video. Gives me the confidence to have ago. My 986 S 2004 Syncro from 1st to 2nd I suspect is worn. Sometimes crunches. Have been avoiding second mostly using 1st to 3rd. It's my one irritant left with the car. Debating wether to sort or not.
Thank you! The whole series was informative, and your voice was perfect with very focused steps about the job.
I am trying to replace the cluch disk by my self. I didn’t reach the transmission yet. I really hope the hard part of job is remove the exhaust.
I actually cringed when I saw you prying the flywheel loose with you under the car, expecting that piece of disc smashing on your skull. You could really get into some serious mishaps.
What's size where the torque converter bolt
So my only comment here was I jacked up my car about 24" (at the jack point) but then found I was too high for my jack to get to the tranny. I had an extra 4" to reach the tranny with the jack (and it looks like I have the same jack too!). So I may just buy a low end tranny hoist or will have to find some lumber to fill the gap. It made it nice to work on with the space, but it was too high for the jack. Just something of which to be aware Once you get the bottom covers off, you may want to test to make sure your jack reaches the tranny and adjust as needed.
Nice video! I love that you thought to measure how much clearance you had after you removed the transmission, that's a nice piece of information to have.
fuck i just bought my 02 boxster and this doesn't look easy at all wow
NICE VIDEO , THANKS
