Hi, I am new here and looking at buying a 2002 911, and was trying to determine if the following entries in the carfax history showed that the IMS and/or RMS was repaired.

[The car was barely driven for 2-3 years and titled as a corporate car]

In 2004 the car is sold at ~3000 miles, and the following shows up:

Front crankshaft oil seal replaced
Transmission removed to complete repair
Battery charged
Battery/charging system checked
Battery replaced
Driveshaft seal replaced
Transmission checked
Camshaft seal(s) replaced
Transmission replaced

Then about 1 month and 100 miles later the following entry shows up.

Maintenance inspection completed
Engine removed to complete repair
Front crankshaft oil seal replaced
Flywheel/flexplate replaced
Antifreeze/coolant flushed/changed
Transmission removed to complete repair
Transmission replaced

Can anyone help me with this?

doesnt look like it , but i do know some dealers did this repair ( the aftrmarket bearing) but did ntot put it on the workorder as t was not a recognised issue by Porsche at the time .

I would go to the 996 board and get more info as that is the car is you are looking at. Maybe contact the dealer

i would be wondering why they replaced the entire transmission too.
