Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My father owned a 99 Boxster for over ten years. When I went looking for a car to replace my 1.8 manual 99 VW Passat (240,000 miles), I had a hard time giving up the manual transmission. I ended up replacing the car with a 2012 Hyundai Azera with 25k and I also came home with a 2003 Boxster S with 26,000. I have read IMS threads for a week now. I understand there are many ways to go about this but I have made my decision, Jake Raby's solution. I understand this is not the cheapest solution, but if economics were a factor I wouldn't have purchased the Porsche and is why I purchased a Hyundai as my driver. In an effort to make this a bit more practical I am going to replace this myself. It will be an excellent opportunity to learn more about the car and bond with it. If I could purchase a used set of tools or rent/borrow that would also be of great help. The one time fix negates owning the tools. The other option is I purchase the tools and sell them upon completion of the job. I already searched the forum so help would be appreciated.

I think there is a guy on ebay that rents. Check that out. The puller is easy to make quite cheaply.
