I talked to RND today, and like their Roller bearing solution. It's a purely personal decision. After thinking about it, knowing it would cost 3k for the install with a clutch, and the car not needing a clutch. I pulled the Sump, and it was clean, not a spec in it, So, I think i'll just drive it till it needs a clutch, then do it. If it does have a major problem, Low millage used engines are only about 4-5k. That's for the 3.2. Yes, i can put it in myself. Plus, if you think about it, you got a 9 in 10 chance that you'll be just fine, and that's if the car has the single row, and you don't monitor it. Pretty good odds in my book. Or park 100 boxsters in a 10x10 gird and pick one if you have the double row, even better odds. I'm going to drive it and enjoy the /// out of it!. Great little car. :dance:
