Not covered in your book, but I will ask the question anyway. I am as certain as I can be that the IMS bearing in my 2000 Boxster with Tiptronic is failing. I have Bentley Publishers Boxster Service Manual. They show Porsche tool # 9596 which appears to be a plate that covers the starter hole with holes in it to remove bolts. I cannot find the tool on the Internet. What is the purpose of the tool and do I need it to remove the automatic trans.?
