So if you were going to replace your clutch and flywheel would it be a good rule of thumb to put in a new flywheel seal (RMS)? My Boxster is nearing 83K miles and I was told six months ago that I'd probably need to replace my clutch in six months. I've read here that lower mileage cars are more prone to RMS failure so will a new clutch, flywheel and new RMS open the possibility back up to RMS failure?
