Frederick! I've seen a couple of boxsters around town - red, silver and yellow. Might you be one of those?

sorry to the OP for dragging this thread off topic.

I have been quoted $4400 can. for everything included around this neck of the woods(2 quotes). The clutch kit at Pelican is $1300 and is not the LN ims bearing around $800? Pelican might be cheaper for the ims part?

That is why I have the IMS guardian because I am not doing till I have to. Clutch still seems acceptable so far. I have a 2001 Boxster base - 40k miles.

8 hours labor for the clutch
2 additional hours labor for the IMS
Labor rate was $105 at my independent mechanic

$600 for the Sach's clutch (Sach's is the OEM provider to Porsche)
$620 for the LN IMS bearing

While doing the above job the clutch slave cylinder was found to be weeping so that was a few more $$.

This is in line with what I was told maybe a little less. My mechanic knows me well and has a sense of my aptitude and told me that if I elected to do it myself that it would likely take me around 14hrs as a DIY.

I did mine myself in my garage, car was up on jack stands. The 14 hours is probably pretty close for someone taking their time doing it for the first time.
