If no bleeder screw is available, but someone has a bolt with some washers, you can undo the lower feed line to the solenoid block (the bolt/line at the bottom front of the block) and use a bolt with washers to seal off that line without having to crush any lines.

This all sounds a little flakey . The C4 box has a basic mechanical front/rear drive ( 31%/69% ) which cannot be turned off !
The control ECU uses front/ rear wheel speed , acceleration sensor signals etc to modify the front / rear drive ratio using the front drive clutch / gear set .
The rear differential also has a clutch pack to help with overall handling .
A broken 964 C4 system does not change the car into a C2 !!
There is a danger that the handling can be badly upset by this problem . Lets see what happens !!

My PDAS controller has been fried since I purchased my car. I don't have ABS but the mechanical 4-wheel drive certainly functions. I've also noticed, as garrett376 mentioned, that on tight corners the inside rear wheel will spin freely.

Sorry guys ,
I was referring to
"Ah the beauty of 2 wheel drive...."
When a C4 breaks down , it becomes a C2 .

Thanks everyone for the help. I ended up just disconnecting the plug on the solenoid block and running like that. No leaks. No AWD, no Limited Slip and no ABS. Frankly I LOVE IT w/o the ABS, and HATE IT without the limited slip. The AWD actually gave me a helluva jump at 11. Anyways, I got to drive and actually was the last one on the track. Just as I saw the checkered by gas light went on. I had been playing with a 993 C4S for almost an HOUR of track time (two run groups back to back w/o stopping)
Glad this was my 964's last day of being on track, now it's on to the boxster.
I have had a terrible time with my ABS on the track, and a terrible time with the slave cylinders, but I have to say, the 964 is just a wonderful car anyways, I felt a little sad as I drove around the last time by myself w/o anyone else on the track, it was a fitting last lap for a really killer car.
Thanks again guys!

Hey, sad to hear that. Was hoping to run with you some 964 v 964. Good luck luck with the upcoming season w your spec Box car. Hey, on2nd thought, spec Box v RSA should be cool too. Just make sure you do some non race events. Cheers..
