My trans is from a Base 1998 and has the main seal as part of the throw out bearing guide tube. Does anyone know the Torque Values for the three screws that hold the guide tube? I can't locate then anywhere.

I didn't think to measure the amount of oil that came out of the IMS tube, but I would guess it was about 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup. Does the amount of oil in the tube have any significant meaning? |
I've never measured it either but I've never seen one that did not have oil. Your pictures made it look like yours might have been dry.

Today was a full day of working on the car. Started the day by attacking my filthy transmission and getting it cleaned up and ready to be re-installed.
The transmission was super dirty. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1368925745.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1368925794.jpg My wife just had to get a shot of me doing my work. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1368925836.jpg Here's the trans all nice and clean after some scrubbing and power spraying. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1368925892.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1368925960.jpg Here's the main shaft with the throw out bearing tube removed and ready for a new tube, seal and o-ring. Does anybody know the torque values for these screws. I can't find them anywhere. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1368926001.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1368926115.jpg |
Then is was on to installing the clutch and pressure plate. But first I had to tighten the flywheel bolts. In order to do the the 120 degrees after torquing to 19 ft-lbs I used an angle measurement tool. I tried to locate the printed degree wheel from 101Projects.com, but it impossible to find it. So I had to improvise.
Locked the flywheel with a $0.75 metal strap from Home Depot. Worked great. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1368926557.jpg Attached the angle measuring tool (has a magnet) to the side of the breaker bar and noted the angle. Then calculated what the angle would be after 120 degrees. I think I liked using this method a lot and would recommend it to any one else. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1368926620.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1368926741.jpg I'm installing a new clutch disk and pressure plate for the 987 instead of the 986. Read that it was a nice upgrade. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1368926789.jpg Guess there is a side that is suppose to face the trans. Make sure you install it the correct way. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1368926876.jpg The new 987 pressure plate. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1368926920.jpg All done with the clutch install. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1368927026.jpg |
FSM says 26 ftlbs for the guide sleeve for the release bearing on transmission housing for a 97-99 Boxster 5 speed.

Last project of the day was to remove the old water pump and thermostat and install new ones. The new thermostat is a low temp unit.
Here are the olds and new units. It was pretty tough to get to all the screws to remove the units. I really thought it was going to be really hard to get some of the screws back in. Really tight quarters, especially the top left screw on the themostat. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1368927720.jpg But, I was able to get the new one back in without too much trouble. I then installed the water pump - forgot to take a picture though. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1368927834.jpg |

Great looking project. How long are you budgeting for all of the work? I actually just got done with the same work last weekend.
Overall I did: * Full 3 piece clutch job * IMS Bearing, I went with the Pelican kit and will replace again on my next clutch. * Plugs / Coil packs / Plug tubes * RMS * Engine oil change * Swepco 201 gear oil I wish I had actually thought of it and replaced the AOS, Coolant Tank, and Oil Tube, I've got 40K on my AOS, and the coolant tank and oil tube are original with 95K on them. Here are a few pictures: Porsche Transmission Drop - Imgur Also, if you haven't, change your gear oil now while your transmission is out. It's much easier when you don't have to deal with pumping gear oil in from under the car. I was going to put my transmission on an engine stand, but wound up using a lounge chair that my neighbor was throwing away. It fit perfectly (picture 8). |
wow nice job HAMMERESQ I wish I could do all of that in a weekend!:)

I just ordered the Boxster S Oil Cooler. I will be installing it as well as a center radiator this week as well. Want the best cooling I can get as my next major project is installing the Imagine Auto super charger kit I have. |

Putting it back together it was very easy to use the extension to start the bolt in the threads and tourque it down. FWIW, I repalced the water pump, thermostat, and all the hoses without removing the motor mount (as recommended) as well. I'm not sure if this is a quick of the 99s or not, but it was much easier to do the work than the messages I'd read here or on RennList. |
Got back to working on my car today. I wasn't planning on replacing the air box with the cold air intake (for the super charger kit I will be installing later this year), but it seems it would be easier with the transmission out. So I did that first. Since I had no plans of ever using the stock air box again, I was able to get it out (without removing stuff) by cutting it up with a dremell and taking it out piece by piece.

Got the transmission back in today as well. Wasn't too hard to do.

Looking really good. Just curious but are you going to refurbish the supporting members? I figured if I ever removed my engine or transmission that sionce I had to puill all of them anyway I'd take the opportunity to clean them up and repaint them. As I saw in a similar thread.
Just wondering how difficult/easy it might be, so if you do decide to do it please let us know. |
