  1. Happy to report all fixed! Initially I made it worse, I usually do my brake bleeding with the Motive bleeder empty to keep it clean and just watch the reservoir closely. I did that technique with the slave and the pedal went all the way to the floor. After more research I realized that the master cylinder takes the fluid for the slave at a different point higher and the Motive bleeder has to have brake fluid in it or you run the risk of introducing more air. After I used the normal technique everything works perfectly. Thank you for all of your advice.
  2. I finally finished this project but I'm now having an issue with the clutch pedal. The clutch no longer slips and engages very quickly without issue but the pedal comes back up half way. No problem changing gears. I have to put my foot behind the pedal and pull it up to get it all the way back. After driving for a few minuets it works normally. I'm concerned there may till be some trapped air in the slave. I replaced the slave cylinder at the same time and had my son try to help me bleed the system but maybe I need to pressure bleed it. Very frustrating to think your done and now have more work to do, it always happens.
  3. I can get the car a little higher but if its not completely level my main concern is that I wont be able to get the splines of the transmission to match into the engine when I try to button everything back together.
  4. So I jacked car up today and took plastic under panels off just to get an overall look and plan things out. Trying to jack up car on jack stands and measuring under driver side is about 18inches. There is a slight upward slant between the engine and transmission as my garage is not completely level. Before I start taking any bolts off, Do you think the car is high enough to clear? I'm using the harbor frieght scissor transmission jack. I'm also concerned that is its not completely level I may have a very hard time putting transmission back up to the engine in the end. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks.
  5. Thanks you for your advice, do you think I could simply clean the flywheel with a 3M scotch brite pad and reuse it as long as there is no scoring or uneven wear? My flywheel may have only 80,000 miles when the engine was replaced, I'm not sure.
  6. Hello, looking for some advice on my next project. I have a 2003 996 C2 with 120,000 miles on it. Original engine suffered IMS bearing failure and new engine was replaced by Porsche in 2008 at 45,000 miles. At 65,000 miles original clutch was replaced. The car is in good shape and I'd like to keep it for at least a few more years. I've done all of the maintenance myself over the years including struts, spark plugs, coil packs etc. Clutch is now staring to slip so I stopped driving it and am contemplating trying to do this myself at home on jack stands. I don't know what the condition of the flywheel is like and if its the original one or a new one was part of the replacement engine. Also thinking about replacing the AOS while I'm in there, no idea how old that is. I wasn't going to buy any parts in advance since I'm not sure what I will need. Clutch and flywheel prices for LUK and Sacs are all over the place and big price difference between URO AOS and Vaico. Does it make sense to just drop the engine and transmission together, or just drop the transmission? I would think it would be easier to just drop the tranny. Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
  7. thanks for the advice I was leaning towards the bilsteins. I have used them in my bmw before and they worked well. The previous owner did replace the lower control arms but I'll reinspect everything and may need to replace some of those components at the same time.
  8. Hello, I was looking for some advice. I have a 2003 911 c2 that I have owned for 4 years now with 113,000 miles and I am planning to keep it for another 3 years. I wanted to redo the suspension with new struts and mild lowering springs but not to aggressive that ride would suffer. Some of the roads where I live aren't the best. I was looking at 2 packages and wanted some advice on what would be better. 1. Bilstein B8 with H@R springs 2. Koni sport damper set and eibach springs The Koni's are on sale and a little bit cheaper but I think this is a closeout. Both sets lower about one inch. Greatly appreciate any help.
