JFP,

I checked with a local Machine Shop and they indicated that they balance at 500 RPMs and that's it. They indicated that that is what most shops will do. Given that then does it still make sense on spending $150 and taking the DMFW to the shop to zero balance at 500 rpm?

Separate question, how do people know that their FW is worn out and they need a new FW? My Boxster has 59K miles on it. To me the FW looks pretty good. Also With the EV I am not going to be shifting much and hence the FW (and Clutch) won't wear down as much. How do I make sure that I have reasonably ok FW? If I post some pictures, could someone who knows this stuff make out or it has to be physically examined?

Sorry of my questions are real basic...
