Saw another thread on a different forum and the repair is about 5 hours of labor plus the part for $3-400. So not a bill I would be happy with to get started!!
I would recommend spending some cash on tools. Do the "math" on replacing an AOS... motor mount... starter... considering your technical/mechanical skills... and see if you could replace those items (parts only) and taking the saved labor charge ($$$) for a respective repair/maintenance... and start collecting tools. Get the manuals... watch the Youtube vids... research, prepare, and launch.

Honestly, I couldn't afford my 986 if I was unable to maintain and repair it (aside from engine/tranny work.)

This forum has proved invaluable (Actually, quite valuable for I'm certain I've saved over $10K in labor costs for the work/maintenance I've performed.) To every member I owe a debt of gratitude.

Pic of the ride?
