inside the engine. No noise when cold and only at idle but seems to be inside
engine down low as far as I can tell so far.Appeared overnight as far as i can tell
I dont have alot of expertize on these engines . Alot of experice on 944 engines
great engines so I am not to happy with this design. OK whats it sound like IMS
bearing . I am not driving it now but do I check futher with the engine running
and chance it or do I just get ready to take the trans out and check? Thanks alot
far help with this matter

If you catch it now, before it totally fails, the engine can be saved. Once it fails, you have a boat anchor, period. To access it, you pull the trans, clutch and flywheel..............
