JP,
I saw one other 993 jacked way up to get the engine and gearbox out and it just kind of looked rather percariously perched. The way you did yours it just looks more stable although I suppose it's fine to have it jacked up higher.

Congrats on getting the engine out. When you go to put the throttle cable or any rubber seal back into place, wet the rubber with rubbing alcohol. I usually dip my finger in the bottle cap and then wet the edges of the rubber with my finger. The rubbing alcohol lubricates rubber/plastic and the pieces (throttle cable seal) slide into place almost instantly and you spend zero time fighting and pinching, etc. Best of all 20 seconds later the alcohol evaporates.

JP,
You da man! Thank you so much for taking the time to pic and post. It is truly a testament to the power of patience, the right tools, and of course all the Rennlisters out there.

Excellent write-up, again! So you removed the slave cylinder altogether? Otherwise I would exchange it, but it's probably still hanging under the car then (and a b*tch to get back in place).

But in fact it was not so difficult to remove. I took care to keep the engine trany assembly enough to the front, and doing so, I bring the engine /trany assembly almost to the ground keeping the slave cylinder connected. And then you have an easy access to it. I dream of putting it back the same way!

JP wrote up the whole experience on pcarworkshop.

The only think I do different is I do not remove the bumper, its not required if you can lift the car up high enough. I have done it three ways : 1 ) I have a monster floor jack that will do it 2 )I used a chain block off one of the I-beams in my shop ceiling to lift the rear of the car up 3) Use my lift.
It saves a lot of work, but it depends on what tools you have.
Best of luck, go slow (since your labor is free), and have fun!
Cheers,
Mike
