    Thanks for posting follow-up.

    Anybody???... In talking with Sunset, it seems all of the part numbers are correct, but the picture they sent me from the PET shows a different clamp that what I have... Mine is a 2000 year 996 but, check out site when I did mine, it has pictures but not much explanation. I did not like the way they did the clip either but modified to where I felt it would stay on. After installing parts on the lever it just pushes on. Hope this helps. http://www.webbspot.com/porsche/html/tranny-eng.html

    Change these parts to it's cheap to do.

    Much easier to do the starter with engine out..highly recommend. I've not removed the engine, only the gearbox. just wondered if it was easier to get to now that the gearbox is out of the way? thanks Sorry my mistake, but is still easier with the GB out. You can see my starter, flywheel and clutch install hear. http://www.webbspot.com/porsche/html/tranny-eng.html

    Where can you get the stock engine for $8000 share the wealth. Lowest I found is $8600. I would stick to the 3.4 with warrenty and is the least complicated vs 3.6-3.8 for the novice. Just my 2 cents

    I had problems with my RMS leaking after I explained that they used the wrong/or dated tool originally and they changed the IMS seal also. After airing greviences they bleed my brakes and checked Alternator and did not charge for parts so they excepted some responsibilty anyway. Well figuring I would move on with life drove my car out and at first stop light noticed a unbalanced vibration feeling on take off and accelerating I was going to turn around take it back but after talking with them just wanted to get out of there and home and maybe it would settle in. Well going up my street decided to give it some more gas .....bad move and that... was ...that ... it vibrated terrible and something sounded like it broke so pulled in my driveway leaving a stream of oil and there she sits with about a cup of oil under the eng, I had no idication of failure no idiot lights and water temp was about 170 degrees. I called the shop she said she was scared and I just said I was depressed I now spent $700 bucks on a seal that was not my fault and sounds like a blown engine to boot. My best guess is intermediate shaft went.

    Thanks, but I came to the conclusion for the extra money it was worth the remanufactured eng from porsche with the warrenty.
  10. Mother
    I called porsche scottsdale, but he (service manager) was just kinda guessing, I also called suncoast in oregon. Still have not got mine yet maybe we should do a group buy. How's you're results coming?
  11. Mother
    Thanks Loren Interesting did not think they had that in 2000, I thought it may have had something to do with traction control.
  12. Mother
    Not sure what this part is or does but it does have a rod connected to it going to the brake assy. Anyone venture a guess. Excuse the brake condition they where cleaned up after this picture.
  13. Mother
    Are the front seat bolts tight? Or the bolts near front motor assy loose they tighten to the seat rails.
  14. Mother
    Hey Todd, I'll check into it and let you know what I find out. I see you're from Lenexa, I used to live in Overland Park. Do you use Imagine Auto locally? I have extra set of used cats for 2000-2001 if needed.
  15. Mother
    OK, here is engine number can anything be made from this. M96/0166X16939
  16. Mother
    Thanks just what I wanted to know.
  17. Mother
    Thanks Loren and is this stamped on the engine somewhere?
  18. Mother
    Is there anyway to verify if an engine is rebuilt from porsche via visual, eng #'s etc, if no paperwork is present.
  19. Mother
    Same problem with mine and was told it was possible the cluster is bad. My alternator is not working so I will try that first to see if problem still exists. If you find out let us know.
  20. Mother
    No have not yet. Thanks Loren Update Suncost at presant $8500 exchange (without shipping) had price increase because of falling dollar.
  21. Mother
    I need an engine and have heard $4500 price tag, but when called my dealer they are $6500. Whats the lowest you've gotten just the engine for even if it is just short block where I can install all the accesories. Where there any hoops they required you to jump through like service histories or warrenty's you needed to get that price.
  22. Mother
    Mine shows it as 996 628 44 0 shows as nozzle also.
  23. Mother
    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.
  24. Mother
    Where is this "FUSE" and Distributor located on the car? This seems to be an easy voltage check without removing the Alternator.
  25. Mother
    I will give it a check.
