+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!

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!
