I do not like to comment on how long someone says they can do a job in tbh. Some people work quickly and others slowly. As Bally says, for a DIY'er, I would suggest you do it over 2 days as it is all physically challenging. Bally - no need to remove the gear cables from the bracket, remove the bracket from the box instead 👍 To anyone wanting to give it a go, there is no need to remove the cats, just the muffler. Most will require new exhaust clamps, collars and muffler to cat fixings. I have unfortunately had the box of one 986 3 times in the past week - fastest so far is just over an hour! Jeez, you must be sick of doing it! 😀 Why so many times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had a new clutch, flywheel and release bearing 2000 miles ago fitted by another garage. A noise would appear from the transmission usually when hot and left to idle. Stripped the box out and swapped with another known good box - noise still there. Then switched the 'new' clutch and bearing to new parts - noise still there. Third time I removed the 'new' flywheel' and swapped, this was the source of the problem. I believe that garage number 1 did not fit it correctly - most likely did not torque up in the correct sequence causing it to be fractionally not flush /true. When hot this movement would cause vibration through the box. An extremely rare fault but all sorted now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
