Help with a 01 986 Boxster S
I recently purchased a 986 Boxster and the clamshell for the top has started jumping and the light for the top being open stays on indefinitely. I replaced the tension cable and made sure the track was lubed up what should I do?

I'd consider the gears inside the transmission, the convertible one, and not the gearshift one.

Inside where the top mechanics are. One on each side. They have plastic gears inside. Maybe some teeth are starting to shear off. Many replace with metal gears but Porsche designed it so that these would break and save the rest of the mechanism from further damage so I'd replace with plastic ones. Many videos on YouTube on the replacement of them. I can't say for sure that that is your issue but I'd remove one and dissect it for possible damage. The one on whatever side is hanging up.
