OK Mr H, I must admit that I have 11,000sqft to play with at work, but it's still nice to have the space at home to tinker on those weekends that I'm not racing. Nowadays having a conventional double garage is just not enough, the RS takes up one half and the other is now filled (by the missus) with a plethora of christmas boxes, old bed frames and bicycles. I'm seriously thinking about taking the keys off her - why are trips to the tip always my responsibility??

Colin,
I agree with double garage is not enough. I spent many hours tidying up my double garage with cycles supported on wall brackets and small items have been tidied into the eaves of the loft and managed to squeeze my other car in! Now I need a triple garage
and a quarter of million pounds to buy my dream car 
As for the women encroaching on the garage space - anything we didn't want went to the skip station and guess what it was my job but I guess I have now monopolised my garage

Excellent write-up.
Only thing I would change is the shaft installation, I assemble both the bearings and seals and then install.
If the bearing is already in the trans there's a good chance of displacing the bearing needles, which you don't know about until the shaft won't go fully in.

No need to edit Neil, you got it correct, the springs go towards the flywheel, i.e. engine side and the flat face towards the cover / gearbox side.
I just wanted to mention that it is possible to put the plate in the wrong way round, a mistake which happens because this is how the disc is fitted on most other conventional clutch assemblies. Hence I thought I should pre-warn everyone to be dilligent so it won't happen to a fellow Rennlister. All the best.

Funny thing is, I usually spend time thinking about it instead of reading the words stamped in the steel

This write up is absolutely fantastic, great docs, and to the point. Of course having the garage is a huge bonus.
My Dad spoiled the heck out of us, garage-wise, growing up in Maine. We had a garage like that and he even installed heat one fall so I could keep his pcar clean in the winter, one of my weekly "chores". I would spend hours in there organizing and working on my Scirocco.
Now that I live on my own with my 993 in California, I have a spacious carport and a clean flat surface, but that garage in the photo reminded me. Very nice.
I'm definitely doing this project when the time comes. Looks clear cut.

Second Colin's advice as well. This disk is used in GT3's and some BMW's as well. For the BMW application, we have seen them labelled conventionally "flywheel side" when in fact this is wrong for P-cars and their 'pull' type clutches.

Fantastic writeup. I didn't see the part numbers for the flannel shirts on your list though? Did you tell Andreas to do a pre-concurs detail on the tranny before you shipped it out, it sure looks that way!
Can I suggest this also be submitted to pcarworkshop.com ?
Again, great writeup.

I'm three bolts away from having my tranny out - two on the tranny mount and the upper starter bolt are all that's left. I'm doing this alone and it's taken me the better part of the day. I'm doing this in a one car garage, but I have all the space and tools I need. When I get the tranny out, I'll put it on a stand in my two car garage. I can't imagine how this could only take two hours. Everything has been so hard to reach - the slave cyl.nuts, the tranny-engine case bolts, just a nightmare. My whole drivetrain is coming out next time. This job sucks!
