Will I need a Flywheel?

And are there any indicators that might tell me what the percentage chance would be that I will need to have it replaced? I am planning on doing the IMS as well. 2001 Boxster S.

They are burning you on the flywheel, even Amazon sells them for less than $500.

Agreed, You can find the LUK DMF onlne for <$500 You would be crazy not to change it considering the work it takes to get at it. Really no extra labor if you are doing the IMS anyway.

I think the Porsche boxed unit may be $1000. I just installed a LUK on my 99 and it feels great.
