Its the IMS you need to worry about on a Boxster!
Viper, do you happen to know if it's engine and box out to do the RMS? anyone ever had a clutch done on an S1/S2 ?

One of the reasons I decided to sell mine, in case 50% depreciation turned into total loss... RMS is still a pain with them though. Plus the A/C condensors only lasting around 10 years...

Hello Chris, having now spent some time underneath my car I better understand your leak. I guess it's coming though the rectangular slot (about 20 x 5mm) thats at bottom of bell housing.
So have to agree most likely is RMS? When I have a chance I'll have a look at the BMW M62 engine info I have to see if there's anything about RMS changing.
Guess most dealers will be able to confirm but I suspect the gearbox is removable from underneath, though can imagine that access to some of the upper bell housing bolts is tricky. Reason I say this is that the rear gearbox support appears to be removable. There seem to be two bolts per side that are hopefully accessible from the inside of the car.
Cheers

and further to previous post I couldn't find anything about RMS in info I had. Search on Google though came up with following forum info. Take a look at http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=266694 Cheers

Can you advise what actually stops the gearbox being removed from underneath? Not enough room to move it backwards?

Chris,
Sounds like a good opportunity to fit a lightened flywheel to get rid of the laziness.
Regards
Andrew
