Did I leave anything out?
Haha, I checked my tool roll and they're all in there (this has grown over time - I carry my favorite plug wrench with me and a handful of allen keys).

Already have this! My shift lever came loose while driving once. Another easy fix but scary when everything gets wiggly while going through gears.

Yes! I've had two scary moments in 911s, once when the ball cup bushing split in half and lodged itself between 2nd and 4th in my old '89 and now this. Both easy fixes. Both scary as hell.

Yes, and I am realizing the optional shift stops were not installed. I think it may be time to spend some time adjusting everything and putting these in place as this would have prevented the joint from completely separating.

The funny thing is in the past week I noticed reverse and first had a few light grinds during engagement which it hadn't done previously. I suspect this had been working its way loose so I'm curious to see if this stops once I get everything adjusted to my liking.

Thanks, everyone!
