If the flywheel goes 1-1 (the face is supposed to rotate X number of degrees) then yes, you will hear the rattling you are describing.

I will update later. it's 4pm here have to get the jerk chicken on the grill. After diner I am going to go over all the external bolts like axle bolts, bell housing, linkages etc. Maybe something is off. I can't see how but it's worth a shot. I'll try thicker fluid. I just put in 75/90 royal purple but I have no problem pulling it out to try something else. Thanks again. I will check back with my findings.

FYI:

start the car (warm it up) and stick a long screw driver against the CAT on each side. Listen for a rattle.

Theres only one set of cats, high flo fabspeed cats on the car. I doubt there shot, but I'll take a listen. still doesnt change my noises. Clutch in at idle no noise, foot off the clutch at idle rattle. Clutch in or out rolling 1st and second there is noise.

I'll take an ear to it after diner. Thanks again for all the advice and you really just saved me thousands.

It will be the flywheel.. and *if* it is the flywheel.. you need to get it out of the car quickly before it ruins the rear main bearing, then takes out the no. 6 rod bearing

Very cool! Congrats!! Lots of people talking about leaving or complain how bad it is here.. but very few actually leave!

Costa Rica is the place I'm looking at. They have a free trade zone that Dell and many other large US based companies are using to do business. Plus they have a FIA approved track

Hi Brad, what 5-speed variant has the most optimal ratios for a base 986 running a 997S 3.8L engine in your opinion? I'm installing the Guard LSD, so I have an opportunity to swap the trans as well (currently running stock 2001 base 5-speed trans).

Hey tight!!

None of the 5 speeds will last. Sorry You need to go to at least the 987 BoxsterS tranny (it has shorter ratio's than the CaymanS 6speed)

We blow up 5 speeds in the 194rwhp Boxsters..

I ran upwards of 340hp through *your* 5 speed for awhile. We broke it.

Texas? and NorCal?
