I thought since the clutch and everything was replaced now, why not change the slave cylinder.

Just other stuff I have changed on the car were, the starter.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all. I've owned 4 911's air cooled from a 85 Coupe, 85 Targa, 92 964 C4 Coupe, 77 930. About two years ago I sold my 964 and went out and got a 2002 C4 cab with 102,000. It had a rebuilt engine by LN engineering. It was done at 87,000. It had an IMS issue and was rebuilt and with in 10,000 miles it went again and the engine was shipped to LN and they put a triple IMS bearing and new 3.8 Pistons and sleeves.
I love the car. I miss the crap out of my 930. The 996 is a great car. It had tons of upgrades, like a light weight Alum, fly wheel and a GT clutch. I was driving by Scranton PA on 84 and felt what I thought was a chatter. I drove it to Mtech in New Rochelle NY an Indy.
I ordered an European suspension from Sun Coast for the 2002 996 Cab. Also after a test drive, Mike determine that it was the clutch. So I took it in on Monday. He ordered all the parts and while the car is up I am having the BBS's referbed.
So Mike dropped the Trans and started to take the suspension apart. He found that the RMS was leaking. I never saw it drip, but the seal was wet and it was building up by the IMS. I thought it was the IMS when I saw it. He showed me that it was the RMS and how it the oil came down. So today he got most of the parts in from Porsche in New Rochelle. He put the RMS in and I took some pics.
I opted not to keep the light weight flywheel and go back to stock duel mass. Its a long story but I hate noises and the rattle of the GT flywheel is really annoying and I would have to keep my clutch pedal on the floor to stop it. So lets just say that and the stiffness of the clutch out weight the 30 Lbs I was saving. It really is 20 Lbs. We weight it. The Alum light weight FW is 14 Lbs. The Duel Mass is 34 lbs. Any way. Ill keep posting like I did on my 930 Rebuild. Not many people post pics of work on the 996. I am also waiting for my fabspeed cat's to come in. 6 to 8 week wait and its been 5 weeks since I ordered it. Also getting the sport muffler's also. Here are some pics.

Just other stuff I have changed on the car were, the starter. It would make a weird sound every once and a while. Never failed but I'm one to repair before it fails and gets stuck.
I also kept getting a ABS and PSM error every now and then under hard acceleration. Ended up being the MAS out of everything. Changed that with OEM MAS. That was a lot for a little sensor.
Also my front brakes and rotors were shot and got new rotors and brake pads. I'm doing the rears now that the rear suspension is coming off.
Oh one day my convertible roof wouldn't go up and I called Mtech. He told me to wiggle the key. I did and the top went right up. He told me not to shut the car off and drive it to him. He was so right. When I got there I couldn't get the key out. Ended up needing a ignition switch.
Then about 5 months later my HID's would turn on sometimes. I would have to turn them on and off to get them both to turn on. So it was the head light switch. Changed that.
Got a new carpet kit from Lyods. The best part was when the back seats are down, they sell a carpet to cover the back seats when down that CARRERA 4. Looks great.
I brought a silver face gauges from Ebay to match the silver interior accents. The freaken gauges hold the miles and it showed I had like 70,000 instead of the 110,000 that the car had and Mtech couldn't change it. I spoke to North Hollywood gauges and they said for 300 bucks they will swap the gauges. He also informed me that the cluster that I got is a turbo and thank god I didn't run the car with it. He said the sensors are different and I would get a bunch of error readings and CEL's.
I have done a bunch more just can't remember right now.
One more thing that I just found out is that the triple IMS that LN Engineering does in house is good for 70,000 to 80,000 miles as per them when I called yesterday. Anyone have any info on that? I just see videos and info on the double and single row and the "Permeant solution" they sell now. Thanks.
Clutch and trans is back in. The rear suspicion is in and the fronts needed a bearing and mounts. Man, they should have after market mounts. They had to order them from Porsche. $$$. Also got new say bar links for the M030. One thing is the slave cylinder. I thought since the clutch and everything was replaced now, why not change the slave cylinder. The mechanic said its in perfect shape. So now the rims need to be referbed and the suspension finished. Oh and the back brakes and rotors. I saw the oil separator. Thats another thing that I said I should change but also was told, if it isn't broke don't fix it. I have a few more pics but have to hook up my phone. Maybe tomorrow morning.
Robert
Yeah, that's what I meant. It did make me laugh, though ... until I replace some old parts back there, I'll definitely think of it as the "rear suspicion."
KoB, I see your in Albany. In two weeks we are doing a drive. Here is the info.
Dear Cars & Coffee attendees and interested parties:
There have been several suggestions from attendees that (WE) should schedule group rides once we meet at our Cars & Coffee Venue (Central Valley, NY) on Sundays.
We listened and thanks to our recent Cars & Coffee member Bill Way, he suggested that we visit a Cars & Coffee site in Mt.Kisco, New York.
According to Bill there have been as many as (60) cars in attendance and that there are many exotic cars at this venue. Parking is safe and we will be with fellow car enthusiast's from across the river.
So that being said, we are scheduling out first group ride on Sunday, June 29, 2014 from our Cars & Coffee venue in Central Valley to Mt. Kisco, New York. Bill has volunteered to lead our group and I will be the last car in the procession.
This should be an excellent ride with the Hudson Valley scenery crossing over the Bear Mountain Bridge over the goat trail.
Group Ride on Sunday, June 29, 2014 at 8:30 AM from Central Valley
The plan is to meet on Sunday, June 29, 2014 at 8:00 AM in Central Valley, NY and wheels will be rolling at 8:30 AM Sharp.
Please respond if you would be interested in joining so that we can pre-plan etc.
Update. Car is almost done. The suspension is done. Clutch is done. Rear brakes are done. Now I saw that the right side of the exhaust was about 2 inches lower than before and its engine mounts. So they will come in tomorrow along with my BBS rims from being referbed. So Saturday I get to pick it up. Can't wait.
Next will be the fabspeed exhaust. I have a send out date of 6/24 so worst case I'll get it the last week of June or early July. After my bank account recoups, the Plenum and intake is next. From reading, that should give me a nice power upgrade.
Does anyone know if I have to get a flash, with all the updates, 3.8, exhaust, intake or will the computer compensate?
Robert
Appreciate the invite, but I'll have to pass ... will be doing an event on the 28th and probably ought to spend at least a little time around the house :-)
Sounds like a great route ... enjoy!
I picked up the car yesterday. I still have to install the fabspeed cats and the new mufflers. That will be next weeks project. I've dumped over $9000 on this car. I'll tell you, what a difference in the clutch. I never drove my car with a duel mass. I always, since I brought it, had the light weight on it. It was on or off. Like in traffic. Now I can leave it in second gear and drive in traffic with out pushing the clutch all the time. Also the M030 suspension is great. It gives a great feeling going up Bear mountain and Storm king mountain here in NY. Corners like a bat out of hell. Also got my BBS's redone. They look like brand used..... LOL. Tomorrow, Cars and Coffee. Here are some pics of the finished car.
Robert
Just put the fabspeed cats and pfister 996 mufflers. Wow what a sound and pick up difference. Next is the Plentum. I just have to let my account recover. Spent a lot of $ in the past few weeks.
Robert
So I have been driving my car and with the sound of the exhaust I guess, a bit hard. I noticed that I was burning oil and it would puff on start up. After all the work I did ended up blowing my AOS. It wasn't as bad as what people say here. I didn't have continues smoke, it would happen for about 10 seconds right after start up. The big clue was the burning oil. I went through 3 liters in 800 miles. I read my butt off here and Rennlist and not a lot of people talk about burning oil. I took the cap off of my oil filler and it sounded like I open a bottle of soda. Then the car would almost stall and run like crap. Before I use to hear just a steady light suction sound. I put my hand on the filler tube and it had a very strong suction now like a vacuum.
So back to the shop it went. The messed up thing was when they were doing the clutch I saw the separator and I asked because I read all the time, should they just change it since its there. They said that they would but it was back ordered at Porsche and I opted to leave it so I could have my car back.
So they installed it and I've had my car for two days. Drove it nicely yesterday and about 200 miles. No smoke on start up and oil level stayed the same. All that is left now is just to respray the front bumper cover because all the nicks and maybe the hood and then 3M clear wrap the hood and fenders. Then done. Car is 100%. I do have to say that the M030 suspension is great up here but had to go to NYC yesterday and those roads are nuts and you can feel every pot hole. Still I don't drive much in the NYC so no worries.
Robert
Ok. I traded my car in for a twin turbo. So who ever is looking for a nice 2002 C4 cab. Here you go. I don't know what they did with the hard top.
http://www.rocklandmotors.com/2002-P...8/Details.aspx
They don't know what they have. It has a 3.8 upgrade new clutch and suspension all brakes short shift kit 997 shifter kenwood nav system. BBS rims just redone. New AOS new starter,led side lights just had a compression and leak down test and the compression showed 265 to 270 across the board and leak down wa 97 to 98 % across the board. New plugs and coil packs in the last 1000 miles. The place has no idea all the work they just wanted to dump the 996 turbo they had because it was going to auction. I jumped on it and traded my car. So who ever is local in NY great deal!!!!
