Hi,

I would think this would be a large risk. I can't imagine they even have the proper equipment to hold the engine in place after disconnecting the Box.

At a Dealership or Porsche Specialist, they would be trained to look for other issues while they're in there as well such as RMS or Int. Shaft. And, they will reassemble the Electrical, Coolant, Suspension and Half-Shafts properly, if AAMCO doesn't, do you really want to trust them to try and subsequently make it right?

Certain things on these cars require that one just Bite the Bullet and IMHO, this is one of them. Living in OC, you must have waay more options than many owners elsewhere before resorting to AAMCO I would think, and these are whom you should be considering. The potential for problems just outweighs saving a couple hundred $$...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
