Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It sounds very much like a rattling heat shield, but stops when the clutch is depressed. This video tells all: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0n7y...C7k_DYing#Home I’ve been advised that I need anything ranging from an $8 bearing to a new transmission. I can perform whatever work is necessary, but I don’t know how do identify which part (if any) is failing. I’m calling on the collective experience of this forum to help me with a non-invasive diagnosis. My Indie tells me to buy a new transmission, but I’m not convinced. This is a newly acquired ‘99 996. The clutch has 10,000 miles on it. The car has 100,000 miles on it, but got a new transmission at 30,000 miles; I have no idea why. Many thanks in advance.

Alex, I'll take throwout bearing for $1,000. Once you are in there, you might as well do the clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, RMS, trans input seal, updated arm, throwout bearing, clip, seal, pivot, etc. Take advantage of the labor while you are in there. Once and done for lots of miles.

OP - I'd trust Porschetech3 on this one. He's probably fixed more Porsche's than I've seen. I'm just guessing on my post above. He actually knows. That being said, I stand by my fix the stuff while you're in there comment. It takes a lot of time and/or money to get to that area, so doing it all saves time/money/downtime in the long run.
