Great to see you back as well.

jimq

When are you going to put the rack back in? I would like to come watch/help? if you are doing it on the weekend. I want to see what I am getting into taking it off. How long does it take to do the rebuild now that you are a expert?

Wachuko

Waiting on the torsion bars for the SC so that I can install the front suspension back... once that is done, then I can get it off the lift and move the 964 over... so I am thinking that it will be mid-Feb when I get to work on the 964...

Once the rack is out, rebuilding only take a couple of hours (that includes the time to clean all the parts so that it looks good, hehehehe). Remember to order the crush copper seals (Copper Sealing Ring, D12 x 15.5/16) for the lines and the plastic plug (Part No. 477-419-115)... those items are not included in the seal kit.

I did the whole thing over a weekend...but was taking a lot of breaks due to family commitments...

On second thought... just order the seals... I need to order a few things from Pelican today and will get additional copper seals and plugs.

Wachuko

Order placed...everything should be here by Feb 1st.

Sounds great Jaime. I need to find a how to on getting it out. I will order the kit tomorrow. let me know the cost on the washers. i need to change my valve cover gaskets also. Just got the gaskets last week. may do that and the oil saturday depending on how cold it gets. After that I need to get the TT on the lift and see what the slow leak is on it. Might be the coolant tank.

Wachuko

Left rear? Yeah...coolant tank. Known issue with the 996TT. . I had a spare tank for when mine would start doing the same... Gave it to the next owner when he got the car. I can check if he still has it, he no longer has the 996TT, he recently bought a 997TT.

On removing the steering rack. The only step that is a pita is removing the bolts that hold the hydraulic lines....access is limited. Then there is the bolt in the footwell, behind the pedals... The rest is pretty straight forward.

Just go back and review page 22 of this thread... I documented what I did. I will add more details this time around...

The drip is very slow and is more towards the bumper. i need to put it in the air and take a look. I ordered the new seals for the rack.

Wachuko

Cool! All the parts arrive Wednesday... but I am still waiting on ETA for the '81 torsion bars... that is what is keeping the SC on the lift... need that to install it, put the wheels back on it and roll it out.

Wachuko

Transmission should be here on Tuesday!!

Wachuko

It is here!!







I still have to wait for the revised fork, needle bearings and a few other things that are a bit delayed... but the critical part is here!! And shifts smoothly with just my hand...

I will change the fluid and start getting it ready for the weekend (if those parts come in...)

Wachuko

Not much done... got the transmission off the pallet and on wheels to make it easier to move around...



Got the old 3.0 engine, from the RSR project (we installed a 3.2 with PMOs on that one), off the lift cart and on the engine stand... lift table now free for using with the 964.

Duck

That transmission cart looks exactly like mine.

jimq

Does Mara ever walk out into you'als garage take a long look and go WTF
Surprised your neighbors in that fancy hood you live in havent nailed you for running a illegal garage

Wachuko

All the time my friend... all the time...

I try to man up and tell her to walk away and leave me alone... that this is my only space in the house...my man cave... manly ground... even that does not work.

I keep waiting for that letter from the HOA... hahahaha...
