I don't think you are going to know if it is the IMS or RMS (or both) without removing the transmission and flywheel.

I agree. Knowing that it could be the ISS also, then it's going to a shop for a checkup. At 12k miles, it's too early for a new clutch but I may just get a new one anyway. I think I'll tell my indy to try the GT3 motorsports seal.

:renntech:

Did you try the GT3 motorsports seal and how did it work out for you? I have the 997 seal in my 2001 engine and it leaked within 3 hrs driving time. If the new seal worked what was the PN#. Hopefully find out soon what to use since it is going in the shop tomorrow.

I guess I should have updated this thread a long time ago.

I had the GT3 Motorsport seal fnally fitted May last year. Since then I have done about 6500 miles. The seal does not appear to be leaking.

While I will hold my breath on it. It is certainly a record. Typically the last 7 seals have leaked within weeks of being fitted if not days. The underside of my bellhousing is dry as a bone. But.....I still will hold my breath.

One other thing.... yes.....its fitted in reverse.

What's the latest news?

I might be getting mine fixed soon, so I'd like to know what's the best fix (using Mike @ Sports & Classic, Knutsford)

I'm now told (by my local 'indie') that it's probably a failing piston and it may well need a new engine.

Cam covers and cams off with boroscope down the plug hole to find out ;-(

How do you get these off and re-fit them.

Mine are half loose and rattling.

Are they adjustable?

2004 Targa

By the time it's revved to 3k it's gone.

Just one tappet, I think.

Oil pressure seems good (5 bar at 3k)

More than 1 bar at tickover.

Don't know what oil (only just got the car) but I'd guess at Mobil 1

Tappet rattle at tickover when hot - should I worry?

2004 Targa tip, 53k miles

It won't read the Nav disks, and when it plays an audio CD it sounds like a very scratchy record (radio, etc sounds fine)

Any ideas (other than to bin it!)

Can it be fixed??

It's in an early 04 Targa.

Did you get anywhere with this?

I have the same problem.. :angry:

Did it work?

What's the latest on this?

Surely one of the MOST- bridge adapter developers has made something work by now that doesn't need the whole amp/speakers being replaced....

Bump - me too ;-)

What's the latest on doing this (Pioneer or Kenwood) on a 'MOST' equipped 996, with Bose 'upgrade' already installed?
