'01 Porsche 996 Clutch Upgrade, Rear Main Seal, Intermediate Shaft Bearing, and more..

This customer came to our shop with this '01 911 after buying it used and wanted to get everything checked out. The big mystery of buying a used car with an unknown service history is just that, a mystery. Never knowing if the previous owner was on top of the maintance or not can be nerve wrecking but we are here to help. 

To start things out on this 911 the customer noticed oil coming from between the engine and transmission. Not knowing if this was coming from the rear main seal or from the intermediate shaft bearing it was time to get it in and pull it apart. With the bad record of engine failures due to failed intermediate shaft bearings it was not a "wait and see" kind of issue. 

When the transmission was pulled out it was discovered that the rear main seal was leaking oil, but being that it was apart it was time for some much needed preventative maintance. The rear main seal, intermediate shaft bearing and oil/air separator were all replaced along with an oil and filter change. 

While the transmission was out it was a great time to take care of the old clutch and flywheel as well. After 75K rough miles the stock clutch was ready to be retired and a new Sachs Motorsport clutch kit came in to take over the job along with an AASCO aluminum flywheel.
