Trans install 08 Boxster Base

[vza]

Havin a hell of a time getting the gear box to mate with the engine. In any event I decided to remove the slave cause it was in the way and I didn't like how the hydraulic line was sitting.... seemed twisted. So in removing the slave the dust boot came off and stayed with the Trans. The pushrod has a ball on the end but didn't snap into the slave I just set it in there and slid the boot back on . Is that correct? Thanks v

Sounds good.

 

Getting the gear box back into these cars is often a major pain, we found that getting a couple of long bolts the same sized as the bellhousing bolts, then cutting off the hex head and finger tightening them into both sides of the engine case to act as guides really makes the job a lot simpler. 😉

I finally got it in. Best to walk away and try the next day. What about the clutch slave. The boot fell off and I just set the push rod back and stuck the boot back on. The push rod didn't snap in or anything just sat there. Is that all good?

The slave pushrod is not retained in any way. I always liked to put a very small dab of the same lube for the throw out bearing tube and input shaft on both ends of the rod when installing.
