Rob 97 993c2

Hi guys.
As ive posted earlier, im having my clutch done and they are dropping the motor.

Any special or efficient upgrades (or maintance) i should have them do that are more cost effective while the motor is out? (VBob already mentioned spark plugs)
Any special transmission requests that i should also make?

thanks...

Depending upon miles/age, this may also be a good time to replace the plug wires. You may to check to see if a 3.8 kit and some cams might just fall into place as well... as long as you're in there!

New t/o bearing cross shaft and needle bearings is a must. Fork bushings as well.

chris - excuse my ignorance, can you give me more info on what you're suggesting and why .. thx.

steve, just curious, how big a job is upgraded cams to the type that are in Rufus?

Rob,

You probably already know this... but it really depends on how deep your wallet is right now. But when my motor was out at 26k, I had all belts, plug wires, MAF unit, seals, caps and LWF and eventhough I think I skated pretty reasonbly but it was the biggest bill I've ever paid on a car... period.

Good Luck.

Certainly, the t/o bearing rides on a cast steel fork, which pivots on a steel shaft. This steel shaft rides on a pair of needle bearings. All too often these parts dont get replaced at clutch time. These items are not expensive relative to the clutch work, labor etc.
two needle bearings
two plastic t/o fork bushings
cross shaft
two rubber seals

I have seen a few t/o forks that were worn, so replacing this part isnt a bad idea, while your there.
