These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 2Original post

Try Woody... Search for username "itsnotanova" for his parting out thread or send him a PM.

POST 3Original post

I just bought a set off Ebay. They are pretty readily available from wrecks and guys that rip out the tops on their race cars.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

could you tell me the seller name on ebay?

POST 6Original post

Thanks for the recommendation guys but I think he should cough up the money and buy one of those new reinforced gears. I think that shipping anything to Cyprus would be outrageously expensive. The 00-04 convertible transmissions are not that durable and that one gear is probably the only thing wrong with his. I'd imagine the shipping cost of a whole transmission vs a gear is quite a bit. So much so that that it's a smarter move buying the gear even though your total expense is more. If you buy a used transmission ($50 each from me), it's only a matter of time before the gear goes out on that one too. Most guys who are getting rid of their transmissions race the 97-99 boxsters and they have a different style transmission than the 2000-04.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
