I would do the seals regardless of whether or not it needs a flywheel, especially if it looks like they have been leaking. You will also need to pick up 8 flywheel bolts because they are one time use only bolts. The part numbers are as follows: Crankshaft Seal-99710121200, IMS gasket-99610511201, Flywheel Bolts-99907309201. If you do the iMS seal, be sure and follow the Porsche procedure for putting the engine on TDC. Let me know if you need anything else.

Also, if it is the clutch...any issues with buying the kit from Sachs' brand?

And is there a how to replace a clutch guide on Renntech?

cheers!!!

Sachs makes great stock clutches.

Hello,

If your RPM's increase and road speed stays the same the clutch is slipping. From what I have seen it is not uncommon for those cars to need the clutch replaced at that mileage. In addition to the clutch, the dual mass flywheel needs to be inspected at the same time. You should be able to move the flywheel surface no more than an inch clockwise then counter clockwise. While you are in there replace the flywheel seal and intermediate bearing flange seal. You could have oil on the clutch disc causing the slippage.

Take Care,

Aaron

Hey, I was able to pop off the airbag by following some previous posts from here.

First I unplugged the battery and came back an hour later. I just inserted a flat head screwdriver in the little hole and the airbag popped off, I then disconnected the airbag plug from the steering wheel.

when i popped the airbag off the next 2 pictures show what I am looking at, it looks like some kind of torx hole? does anyone have any idea what the next step is?

I dont want to take this out then have a hard time re-aligning the wheel. Thanks guys.

I believe you use a 10mm or 12mm twelve point star bit. The bolt is put in with blue loctite so it takes some effort to loosen it. Once you have taken the bolt out the wheel comes right off. :drive:

I have personally installed many AWE exhausts. Their workmanship is top-notch. Each system is personalized for the owner with a custom made name plate as well. The sound of their exhaust on the 997 c4 3.6 was incredible. As for power gains. It was noticeable in the seat of the pants dyno. That's more than 4 HP. The 997 kit I installed was headers, cats, and mufflers.

I have also installed their exhaust on the new Cayman. Along with a set of Fabspeed headers, the car made 300Hp at the wheels and sounded very much like an early aircooled Porsche, which it should.

I second that! :cheers:
