Thanks for the helpful responses, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

I went with the Sachs before I read your posts because I'm chicken about using anything but OEM on a repair this invasive, I'd hate to do it twice.

I'm not sure why Mikefocke decided to take an adversarial approach to a simple question. He contributed nothing by shutting down the conversation and received the reply anyone acting that way deserves, regardless of their posting history.

When I reply to a post my goal is always to be helpful. Hopefully my reply to Mike will be helpful in letting him know just because your behind a keyboard and you cannot see the person your replying to, you should remain polite and civil.

Jamesp I was tempted to reply to your post several times since it sat there so long seemingly ignored. I was reluctant to post due to thinking along the same thought process as Mike in his post, which at least bumped your thread 24 hrs after you posted. I have no better info than what post #5 recommends other than to say it is foolish to block info from top original posters.

I gotta say if there are two people I would NEVER ignore regarding Boxsters it is JFP and mikefocke. Distancing yourself from 2 of the most knowledgeable people who have ever contributed to this and other Porsche forums is cutting off your nose to spite your face.

That said everyone is entitled to their own choices in life. Even bad ones.

Anyway, the Sachs clutch will work out fine and now that it is in there you will largely forget about it. Drive that car.
