Thank you for your help, Loren. I couldn't reach up with the side panel off, but I eventually took the climate control panel out, and could then make sure the wires weren't getting snagged (which they were) that way. I didn't realise how easy it would be to remove that panel; I guess it's an easy job to relocate it down below if I wanted to put a nav system in... Anyway, I now have it all back together, and a nice AUX capable stereo! -James.

Hey guys, I've successfully hooked my CDR-220 to my iPod (Treo MP3 player, actually) via the Becker cable, using all the info I got from previous posts. I've routed the cable out the back of the radio area so it comes out down by the foot well, and that seems to work well. However, I haven't been able to push the radio fully back into it's 'hole' yet, it's doesn't want to go in the last 2 inches. Does it require a hearty shove, or is there a trick to getting it back in? I'm worried that the cables have snagged, and don't want to damage them on the metal casing in there. Thanks for any help, sorry for the silly question. -James.

Clutch Issue
jamesgood72 replied to Hombre's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
I've just picked up my 32000mi 1999 996, and think it might need a new clutch, but maybe you guys can tell me it doesn't. The car is beautiful, obviously garaged it's life, low miles, very finely cared for, but it's not the easiest to drive smoothly. I've driven manual cars all my driving life (15 years), and I've not had problems before. The biggest problem is a fast change from 1st to 2nd, it's very difficult to do this quickly without a dull graunching sound. It's not a horrendous, completely missed the gear type of sound, but it's not pleasant. It's I'm slower (a normal change), it goes through without graunching, but it's not exactly butter. The clutch adjustment seems high to me, and this was confirmed in my pre purchase checkout at the dealership, but they said there wasn't too much to worry about. I don't think they looked very hard at it though. Can anyone tell me anything based on that information? I'm thinking I should maybe get the clutch replaced. I drove my MINI Cooper S (6 speed manual) again the other day, and it felt to smooth and buttery after my 911. :( I'm sure that's not the usual scenario, right? Clutch replacement runs about $1500? Maybe it's linkage adjustments? I don't know about these things... Thank you! -James.
