Top Transmission Gears L+R Side Compatible With Porsche Boxster Convertible 1997-2012 98756118001

The reviews honestly had me on the fence about buying these gears, but I decided to give them a try and I do not regret it. They worked perfectly. Yes, it is true that you may need to slightly widen the opening to fit them into the mechanism, but I did it in under a minute with a drill. If you are not willing to put in a little effort to solve minor installation issues, then DIY might not be for you. In that case, take the car to a mechanic. My only concern is long term durability, but so far everything is working flawlessly. For context, I previously tried metal replacement gears to replace the OEM ones, and they were a headache. They made a loud metal grinding noise, bound up, and got stuck. I strongly recommend avoiding metal aftermarket gears. Porsche used plastic for a reason. If something goes wrong, the plastic gear is designed to fail first and help protect the rest of the system.

i had the metal gears on my boxster installed 4 year ago they broke so i decided to go with this one now, the parts are slightly off on measurement but the biggest issue is you can not fit the drive shaft thru the mid hole you will have to drill it (if you don't have the right toll don't even try ) ....I don't expect that to survive one summer because i had to drill it out,,,updated it didn't survived missed the return date on the replacement part and paid twice and learned my lesson order from another supply

Perfect fitment, easy install.

Don't buy this. The centre hole is too mall to fit over the metal pin that locates it. There is a plastic/nylon one that reuses the metal centre from your broken gear that fits perfectly. The all metal one doest fit either as the edges of the gears aren'y beveled so it binds up and won't turn. Search youtube for my detailed video fixing the broken Boxster roof Transmission gears with the problems I encountered and a how too. Video is called Boxster Roof Transmission Fix

2006 Porsche Boxster 987 Diameter of center hole is just a little too small and the even if you drill it out the gear itself pushes too hard against the worm gear that drives it. Even a new top motor didn't have enough power to turn the transmission.

fit wasn't great, smaller gear stripped.

My 96 986 gears are already metal and not stripped out needed to adjust timing.

Works perfectly well.

Se las puse hace un mes, tengo miedo que al no ser de metal aguanten, si todo va bien dejo mi reseña con 5 estrellas, si no cambiaré mi reseña. Saludos
