    Mine was level on 4 jack stands so that I could check the oil level correctly after filling. I think some stored energy was released when I removed the bolts from the brace bars and the plate. According to the stealership, the right rear tire was way off. I always prefer jack stands over ramps for it has more room to work (especially with the wheels off). When your back is against concrete, every inch counts. I use ramps primary for oil change when I am too lazy to move the other car out of my garage to use the floor jack. Peter

    Loren, did you have a hard time getting the plate and the braces back on? I changed my transmission oil today (2003 Boxster S) and was surprised how hard it was to get the holes to line up with the studs, for both the plate and the braces. I was worried that I had pulled it out of alignment by using ramps instead of jack stands. But looking at your photos, you used ramps too. Wondering if you had any alignment problems after doing this? Thanks I used 4 jack stands and alignment was changed. When I did my 03 base transmission oil change last month, I had tough time getting the plate off. Rubber hammer, pry bar, and etc ... After it was down, I realized that two of the bolts, one on the east corner and one opposite on the west were not exactly straight. They pointed slightly outward. After I did the oil change, I just could not get it back on without enlarging the hole a little with a file. Afterwards, my PSM OFF and ABS lights would come on occasionally after 20 min or so driving. Restart the car could only reset the lights temporary. Also, the steering wheel was no longer straight. Took it to the stealership for a alignment and reset the steering angel sensor fixed the problem. Peter

    CJ, Does it happen after a cold start in the morning? And goes away when the engine is fully warmed up? My wife 99 VW Golf air injection pump does that in the morning for awhile. It is part of the emission system to blow cold air to the exhaust during warm-up. I suspect what is on the Boxster is similar. When the system does not detect any air during the cycle, it will give you a CEL. Since you can hear the noise, the air pump (the expensive part) is probably ok. I would check the hose that runs from the pump to the exhaust because the noise is louder than before. While you at it, you might also check all the related vacuum hoses too. Peter
