clutch
I agree with the afore mentioned advice - I will add a bit - ive had 2 boxsters, one was a 2000 S and sold it with 90k miles on it never had do to the clutch, I now have a 97 with 39k miles that just got a complete new everything- why the difference?? I have only had this car a year, less than 2500 miles put on by me - thePO(previous owner) wore the heck out of the clutch - chances are at 85 k miles you have a firm clutch due to the wear on the disc and the pressure plate and its nor working correctly anymore - do it before you burn up the flywheel too - that's $800 by itself!
- how long have you had this car? if you have never worn out a clutch but this one is going it may be due to previous owner wearing it out riding clutch, etc.
ps- my whole job including IMS bearing and hydraulics was $3200
my quote for all 4 bilitein B6 shocks and struts was $1,000 parts and labor
btw in 35 years of driving I have burned up one clutch - it was my '69 Austin Healey and the first gear was worn out( thanks to my sister's friend I bought the car from) and had to start out in 2nd gear, waited too long to get all that fixed and slipping the clutch like that will wear it out fast- I have not had that happen ever again, learned to shift properly- also now I have all new clutch and hydraulics in this Boxster it shifts like brand new, and now I really can tell how bad that disc was worn- previous owner never changed out the clutch fluid- yes it should be flushed just like the brakes.
$200 / hour is a joke- the guy that did my car recently charged $100, you can do all the front suspension stuff with a floor jack- go to pelican parts side on tech part and see all the step by step helpers for this job, I had the clutch done for me due to time and because I thought it was just the hydraulics initially and didn't want to mess with that- I will do all the suspension up front same as I did on my BMW recently and my P914 - as stated already its not really that complicated. -
Good luck-
