  1. Last week went to put the top up on my '98 986, the top stopped in mid-span, not electrical or motor, it's mechanical. Upon inspection: 1 -broken red plastic ball joint cup 2 -Cables Drive cable showing in the motor end 2 -Old transmissions I jumped on this forum, and found great information, thank you all! I am now headed to the dealer to see what they have in stock. Please check me to see if my plan is correct, the parts I will be searching for are as follows: 2 -986 561 717 03- new reinforced cables (non sided) 1” longer than the original but still useful for the old style transmission. 2 -Ball joint rods with the white connectors. The one missing item is timing of the transmission, I'm not sure what to make of this can someone tell me what the rough steps are, start, stop top position etc..... Thanks!
