On a Boxster S, the torque for the hex head bolts at the transmission-driveshaft junction apparently is 60 ft/lbs? Whereas, on the non-S, it's 30 ft/lbs? Any clarification would be appreciated.

Also, does anyone know if the "ball cage" that surrounds the ball hub inside the CV joint has a forward and backward face. It appears not to be completely symmetrical.

Thanks for all the help.

Bentleys doesn't differentiate based on S or non S, rather on the size - Bentleys says:

Inner CV joint to output flange

M8 29 ft/lb

M10 60 ft/lb

I'll never understand the physics of it, but 2 more millimeters translates into 31 more foot/lbs?
