    Thanks!

    I pretty much knew what you stated. I just needed reinforcement. I called back and the assistant retracted from everything she said. Let me add, it doesn't hurt to wait to Monday because I'm still waiting for my cat(s) (on order) and the rear CV joint boots are going to be replaced. So it makes since to do it all at once in regard to labor cost. Thanks for all your help and responses. I will be making a contribution when I get a chance. Great site. :cheers:

    Where can I find these speed bleeders for my "S" and how much. Thanks.
  4. BoxSinit
    How much did they charge you for the clutch?
  5. BoxSinit
    Loren I need a bit of guidance. Spoke to the assistant at the service desk; she told me I need a complete clutch, $1400 (after a test drive from the service tech). The car has not been taken apart. My question is, how do you know exactly what is going on when it hasn't been disassembled??? She told me that Porsche just replaces the complete clutch. I'm not buying that. Mind you the service manger (who also is the head technician) is on vacation. I have rapport with this man, and pretty much explains everything to me in detail and I assume makes the final decision in the situation. Very fair guy. Actually the assistant tried to charge me an hr of labor for diagnosing a problem (starter) in another service apt. and he overruled it, because this is covered under warranty. Plus the fact there's a guy filling in for him with a Honda shirt (I guess this dealer owns other dealers). Should I wait for the service manger to come back on Monday to break down the car and handle this situation?? Sorry for the long newbie questions; I'm just unsure. If any one has any input, please replay. Thanks for your time.

    I thought maybe the clutch had been contaminated from an RMS, since it happen so suddenly. It happen to me before.
  7. BoxSinit
    No signs of chatter or slipping at all. I thought I had a lot of life left on this clutch. I'm surprised, it just came out of nowhere. Not gradually, just bad feel all at once. Around 48K on the current clutch.
  8. BoxSinit
    Hey Loren, just throwing a question out there for you. Recently my car is having trouble with going into first and reverse gear as well as the clutch pedal virbarting on release. I do feel slipping too. I know the answer to this, but I want to be sure. Would any of the work that was done to replace the clutch spring have anything to do with this?
  9. BoxSinit
    This was the the case for me. In fact, the clutch (not sure exactly which part) and the RMS was covered under warranty. I'll find out whats going on tomorrow since my car will be going in for service.
  10. BoxSinit
    Interesting. I do use Chevron Techron every so often...
  11. BoxSinit
    Forgot to ask Loren. How does a cat go bad???
  12. BoxSinit
    Hi guys, I appreciated any info where to look visually (Pics) for a RMS leak. I had a RMS leak in the first 1.5k in my Box S now(48.5k). The oil leaked into the clutch componets and the clutch started to slip and get stuck in gear. The car seems to be headed in that same direction once again (clutch slipping). I wonder if this is the same problem because I am pretty good driver as far as operating a manual transmission correctly. Thanks.
  13. BoxSinit
    Problem solved. Bad cat(s). Order has been made for replacement. Again, thanks for the help.
  14. BoxSinit
    Well I broought the car in today. I should have an answer later today. Just wanted ask a Question...If I have a bad cat or 02 sensor, will it effect peformance? Thanks
  15. BoxSinit
    Ok...thanks for help.
  16. BoxSinit
    If it is a bad cat, can the dealer possibly blame the GHL muffler on the cat going bad??
  17. BoxSinit
    Just great...The car is under warranty, but I have the GHL. I have a service appointment for next week. I hope they don't give me any trouble. Do you think really bad roads juddering the cat around would possibly throw a faulty code?
  18. BoxSinit
    This is the only code. I have no idea of the 02 sensor voltage. I had the code read at Autozone. Only other information I received was: The catalyst system efficiency for bank 2 is below threshold for the current engine operating conditions.
  19. BoxSinit
    Check engine light came back on. Now its code P0430( actually this might of been the initial code). Sounds like the 02 sensor is bad. What do you think Loren?
  20. BoxSinit
    Thats a good sign...mine is black. :)
  21. BoxSinit
    Thanks. I already purchase the Renovo, which is a dye. Just looking to see if anyone has experience with the product before I start the job. By the way, Renovo is highly recommended.
  22. BoxSinit
    The spots are way past Porsche protectant and Raggtopp. Its faded from tree sap. It needs to be dyed. By the way, I used Porshce protactant in the past and use Raggtopp currently.
  23. BoxSinit
    I have a few spots on my soft top that are faded from tree sap. Can I use this product for the few spots? Will it blend with original top color or do I have to do the entire top? I don't want the top to look uneven in color. Has anyone tried this product? If so how were your results? Were you pleased? Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
  24. BoxSinit
    You were right Loren. The Tech overtightened it. Problem solved...Thanks.
  25. BoxSinit
    Thanks for all the info. Highly appreciated!
