Very hard to see on the picture. On my car, as part of the failure of the AOS (air-oil-separator), the rubber booth to the cam cover was ruptured and oil was leaking out, also onto the exhaust.

For the interested people; I have found a damaged 981 PSE muffler to trial fit. After removing the heat shield I would say it fits in quite nicely. So this is the route I will take for when the V8...

Spring / strut combination

The rear suspension of my car (986 base) is now apart. I'll fit the 987 knuckle and have ordered new brakes and suspension arms to go along with it.

So now the attention goes to the spring...

Exhaust for 986 / 987

Hi All,

The 987 Cayman 6 speed gearbox (G87/21) is now mounten in my 986. Next point of attention is the exhaust as the OEM base '97 muffler won't fit behind the (longer) 6 speed.

Sound wise I...

@Porboxs ,@Danimal I guess you both have the 986 6-speed (G86/20 if I'm not mistaken). I can't comment on that box, but would advise to locate the source of play / slop first.

And good info on...

Good to see I'm not the only one thinking it needs a bit of improvement. :D



I'm not really worried about that as the cable ends are still rubber and allow a bit of 'give'. The G87/21 box I...

Hi Gilles,

Thanks for the suggestion. Looking at their product offering I see a new shifter, but the 987 seems decent already (room for improvement, but not bad at all), and new cables. I don't...

The advantage is two fold in my case;

1) The shafts fit the Porsche G87/21 and therefore the Audi 0A2 gearboxes. I'll probably mount the G87/21 now as long as I have the 2.5 Boxer and will move...

How do these mounts improve shifting? I'm obviously missing something, but would say that the shift cables mostly decouple movement of engine/gearbox from the shifter.

So where I am aware of the...

So, more research done. The 987 axles are not going to work due to the difference in ABS sensors and resulting difference in axle side CV joint.
