Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Cross Post - Don't know the best place to post this. OK, I've raced my 2000 Boxster S trans since 2004. All original except a light weight flywheel and Guards Transmission LSD. It is mated to a 3.6L '05 996 motor. We are pulling the box out and replacing the pressure plate and clutch. While it's out, I'm looking for ideas and info regarding any options for changing gear sets or Ring and Pinion while its out. The car is a dedicated race car. Not street Legal. Has anyone made these changes? Who did they buy from? Was it noticeable on track? Any input or ideas would be welcomed. Brinkley is online now Report Post Edit/Delete Message

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

blue, I have. As a builder and seller of all things gearbox related I have heard their ideas and opinions. I'm actually looking for guys who have used them or any other company who sells R&P and/or Gear ratio change to get the opinion of end users who aren't looking to sell something. Hope I can find that.
