I did speak with Len but I've had some success with the DIY so far so I'm going to continue with that.

All better now. I just used some fuel injection hose and clamps.

So I've done stuff and things to the car since I came back. First I fixed the notorious flashing high beam problem by bending the copper lead back.



Then I took out the A/C drier because why not.



I removed the cruise control module from the dash and cleaned up the radio wiring.



I finally got around to replacing, or in this case, putting a shifter bushing in. Notice it missing?



Well it's down there with all the dirt and mouse crap.



So I vacuumed, washed, and greased the new stuff to make it nice and shiney. I used the JWest G50 kit.

quick question: is it more fuel efficient to coast in gear or clutch in?

Jason @ Paragon Products

Clutch in but it's not nearly as much fun. If you were on a long downhill stretch you'd be better off shifting to neutral and save the wear on the throw out bearing. In a 911 I'd just leave it in gear and accelerate up to the point you need to slow down :-)

I can assure you coasting is kept to a minimum , I just want to better understand these cars. I know in modern autos the fuel cuts out until idle needs to be kept.

When you let off the throttle, it activates a the idle control switch that cuts the fuel map back to idle mode.

There is another switch at the top for full throttle, too

When coasting in gear, you get the benefit of engine drag for reduced wear on brakes and clutch as noted above.
