Thanks Holger for the red carpet entrance. I was at the track and went from 5 to 2(have shorter r/p so 5 was used) at braking zone of T1 at Thill(mooty was behind me) and car literally went full 90 degrees to the left into grassy knoll going sideways afterward. I had an rsr pressure plate/ clutch but it just popped when it overeved. Don't know what a stock pressure plate will do but imagine it would do the same. I still was able to get off track but but by the time in paddock no clutch pedal engagement. Had it towed. I was pissed 2 nd session of 1st track day with new 80/80 lsd(1st session was awesome) and never ever misshifted from 5 to 4- i was janxed that day). If u downshifted from 4th u must have meant rather then 3rd it went into 1st rt? I would get a second opinion. Trannys on the gt3 are pretty stout. U aactually saw the cracks on casing? If need replacing/rebuilding I would go the full monty in lwfw/pressure plate/ring pinion and lsd while your there. Regards. mike

Update today shop said they will
take out the diffrental and weld the fine crack under the hole in the bell housing. If this dosen't work a replacement Cup casing for $1,500 will be my next option.
Thanks for all of your help !

Why mess with trying to patch up a damaged part when 1500 will mean you know its right? The labour to drop the box must be at least that, never mind splitting it and rebuilding????!

DanH,
Your, correct I had the same question, but the hair line crack is about 1 inch long and to find a CUP casing it needs to come in from Germany. The shop would test the repair with some kind of DYE. I spoke to Brian Copans he said it
should work but did recomend the new casing. I quess I am taking a chance and if it dosen't work then out it comes. They will weld from the inside and out.
Thanks,

DanH,
Your right it may hurt resale. But they called today and it's finished came out perfectly. I don't think I would sell for 5-6 years and if it became a problem the next time I have the clutch replaced would change the casing.
Thanks for you insight

As others have said do some research on used 996 GT3 gear boxes. I think Los Angeles Dismantlers had one. If it is gone, they may connect you with someone that does.

If you haven't got one already, invest in a mirror on a stick (tool) and flash light. Inspect each time you get it hot and it cools off all the way. Just keep an eye on it.
