+1 on Super 90’s #17, your #9 - power steering belt. That one is really, really hard to do with engine in place. And of course your (and his) #3, rear main seal.

Nice work and attention to the details Super 90. That engine is immaculate! I see you didn't remove the rear bumper? I didn't realize you could leave it on. Interesting. (Edit: I just realized that isn't a 993!).

I forgot to update this: but mission accomplished! The new clutch (and other stuff) feels great - although it is taking a little getting used to the new 'biting' point of the clutch during release. Feel's like driving a different car now. My oil pressure gauge works again, so life is good. We also took care of a few MORE items too: new SAI valve and rear brake pads.

The SAI valve was completely caked and corroded, and the replacement has totally solved my intermittent Check Engine Light triggered during hot starts. I had a different thread about that, but in short, I was getting a CEL from "random cylinder misfires" during hot starts. Not anymore!

Had a great time at Mosport with the car last weekend. Performed fantastically!

No - Hunter Motorsports did the work. Great experience with them.

And yes, I'll be at the DE in July too. Are you going?

My engine and transmission are out as well and looking to do the re-gear of the transmission. My mechanic mentioned some part forgot to write down about a "PIN OR SOMETHING" that can fail and cause the transmission to lock up? Anybody shed some light on what this part is? Thanks!
