IMS Bearing Replacement In Progress.....*Complete*
Hello, I'm new to the Porsche community. I just picked up a 2000 996. I currently replacing my IMS bearing and RMS. I've had much guidance from Kyle and numerous other write-ups. So far so good... except that bolt at the 12 o'clock position stalled my progress for about an hour. If anyone wants some advice or pictures let me know. I about about 5 bolts from dropping the tranny...

some surprises... what the heck is on the pressure plate and flywheel.. looks like little spots.. ive never seen this before...
any ideas? i dont want to buy a new clutch.. the clutch looks good... but those spots..... i definitely have a nice IMS leak...
what size torque bolt is the flywheel? im sure there is more presents underneath it that i wont be too thrilled about....

so 7:23 pm to 9:45 pm.
That's less than two and a half hours from time he finished removing the easy bolts to the time the trans was sitting on the floor next to his car. It took longer to change my spark plugs.
The more of these threads I see the more I think I'm doing my own clutch and IMS bearing...perhaps as early as the end of the summer.
My clutch is getting stiff, but when I saw that the clutch in a club members car was almost as good as new even though it felt old, it got me thinking that I might only replace my friction plate, and leave the flywheel and pressure plate for another go....
What's your thoughts?

Doesn't look too bad to me. Is it slipping?
Just the plates if the rest aren't ate up is how I would plan it.
