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.

My 1999 996 cabriolet is going to have its 60,000 mile service. It also will need a new starter, at my cost, that has been making bad noises since before the warranty was up. But that is another story. So, while I am having that done I thought I'd ask the list what else should be done while I'm going to the expense of pulling the engine etc... George
new starter never heard of that going bad sure it's not the ignition lock? I would do the lightened flywheel along with the oem clutch kit
why are you having the clutch replaced? is this just preventative maintenance or is it not engaging correctly?
Have you tried the 996 site? May be more help there. PJC
Just and FYI: I picked up my 99 with about 60K on it. Was making strange noise that I was convinced was my starter too. Turns out it was just the muffler starting to go! Didn't figure that out until the muffler got a little worse and made the noise even after it had just been started. The right one was the culprit, but the left one was right behind it.
