Not to pour salt into the wound, but the mid-generation 986s and 987s are more prone to this failure than the early cars due to a redesign of the intermediate shaft.
You can now look to a 3.4L or 3.6L replacement. There's also a company in the UK which has a permanent fix to the problem and this may also be an option being a commonwealth country and all. See: http://www.autofarm.co.uk/index . Good Luck! |
I can find anything on that webpage. It keeps on going back to the home page. What kind of fix do they have.
Also, does anyone know what's involved in putting a 3.4 or 3.6 replacement? Is it a straightforward drop-in? Or do I have to replace other components like the ECU? How about the transmission, can it support the larger displacement?
Any help would be appreciated.
