I'm beginning to believe it's a crap shoot. I treated this car like every other Porsche I've had (no engine failures since 1974), but this one failed while simply trying to start it.
I had every intention of replacing the RMS, IMS, and water pump as soon as it needed a clutch. Clutch still works.....
Still don't know why it failed, have been too busy and the shop is too full, so it's under a cover and outside enjoying the snow.
