Hi Chris,

Thank you for the good words and thoughts! Figured we could help our family of Porsche's last a bit longer. Seems there is a lot of good work in other areas and saw this TT predicament as a good place to focus on.


Brian and Dana,

Will do! Thanks!

Hi Ron and Julian,

Sent you both a PM putting you both on the list.

If anyone else is interested please post or PM me. I will reply to you with a PM. Don't want to **** people off by bumping this thread up too much.

Looking forward to Chris's report of the installation coming soon!

Please put me on the list! I will be doing the clutch soon, and have been thinking how great it would be to replace the TT bearings.

Thanks!

I have recently purchased a 951, it has a sqeek that is very apparent in neutral and may still be there under load. It tails out when you dis-engage the clutch as the prop shaft spins down. It must be associated with the torque tube or the main shaft in the gearbox, according to the P/O it is common to turbos and S2's. These bearings wouldn't have been designed to eliminate such an issue would they?

I'm ridiculously interested. I bought a new to me torque tube with the last clutch job, and it's got a noisy bearing (shocker I know) so I was planning on rebuilding my old one... toss me on the info list.

Hi Barks944,

A bit confused on what issue this is, a noisy bearing in the TT or trans?

These bearings units are beefed up versions of the original design. Don't know if that will help such an issue your describing.

Cheers,
