Bad news: The throw out bearing in the 87 951 I bought is going. It is hard to shift into first and reverse when the car is running. When it is not running it shifts fine.
So I am 50/50 for the 28th![Frown](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Plus the mechanic I have been using here in Central WA state sold his shop and has left the business. So I need to find a shop to do the work. We have one other Porsche tech here and his shop does not have a hoist. He is going by the book at 20 hours x $65 U.S but I know he is not busy so he will probably make a deal. I might have it changed in Vancouver at Scan Auto, I think they charge $78 cnd ($59 U.S).
Any thoughts?

But seriously, I like Scan a lot more. I remember leaving after getting a PPI on my car... James came after me in the parking lot asking if I wanted to buy some Kokeln (spelling?) chips for my car. Now THATS what I like in a mechanic

I am not 100% sure it is the clutch now. The brake fluid reservoir was in between the low and high mark so I added some fluid and that seemed to help. It might be a master/slave cylinder problem.
I am going up to Vancouver next week (Tues) and I will drop over to Scan and see what they think. Does Scan do alignments?

When I asked James about him, he said Levitts is the best in town, just dont try to talk to him, his customer relations suck ***, but he knows Porsches and alignments for them inside and out. Also he said dont try to deal with him directly, make an appointment through Scan...

I'm hopefully gonna have my new custom exhaust in and tuned for this one. Anyone know if 94 octane is plentiful in the Vancouver or Surrey area? Does Mohawk/Husky down there sell 94 at the pump?
