So if you deduct about $900 for the lns ims, about $200 for the oil change plus cost of rms seal that leaves about $500 for labour approximately. That is an amazing price and quick service. I have been quoted more than 2X that amount incl. clutch work. Gosh I wish I lived closer!Raby /LN engineering down in North Caroline(?) wants $3500 incl. clutch work. Good on u. And comes with a great recommendation.

That's impressive . Come to think of it, I believe that Overdrive had his done there also.


p.s. Only 7 quarts of oil . Where are the other 3 to 4 ?

I must say, $1600 is a pretty attractive price. Most of the quotes that I've been given have been around $2200-2300 . Also, Musante has an excellent reputation to boot .

Just the bearing and RMS? You don't want to replace the clutch and flywheel?

Oh forgive me, I sometimes forget that some on this forum just wash and wax their Boxsters. I put 19k miles on my Boxster in the last six months, how do you restrain yourself from jumping into your Porsche and tearing-up the streets??
