The pinion bearing has too much preload from the factory and will wear exceedingly fast (much heat). Replacing it is mostly labor ($1800 is what I paid).
My '95 968 cab is a great car but in NJ not an acceptable daily driver. I solved this problem by buying a BMW to drive everyday. Simple.
The rear window is plastic which makes for relatively poor visibility and the top leaks slightly under heavy rains.
Also the lack of a back seat limits storage space and flexibility.
Just my thoughts! See 968.net for more information about the pinion bearing issue.
