| One more question re: gear oil change... the diagonal braces... grant - Saturday, 20 April, 2013, at 9:31:01 am |
Apparently i need to remove the aluminum transmission cover and the diagonal braces (not sure why the braces...)
With the flat aluminum panel and the diagonal braces removed, is there any chance of things moving out of alignment?
Anything i need to watch for?

removing the panel and braces will not impact the car's alignment.
I've had the Boxster tranny fluid changed 3 make that 4 times and there has never been any issue from the panel and braces being removed.
Now I'm sorry to say I do not know if the car was supported by its tires/wheels or the body lift points were used to lift the car. This could make a difference.

| Yes, i could. I plan to support it by the chassis lift points. Thanks. *NM* grant - Saturday, 20 April, 2013, at 12:21:38 pm |

If the car is loading its suspension, removing the diagonal braces and the skid plate WILL change the camber in the rear.
It will allow the stance to widen by up to 3 mm if allowed to sit there for a while and especially if it's rolled with the braces off.
If the car is supported by its jackstands there will be no adverse change to suspension settings.
Happy Boxstering,
