Poll: RMS and Engine problem questionaire - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Mine is a 2002 Boxster S with 36,000 on it. They removed the tranny due to a leak at the shift lever shaft. When they did that we inspected the clutch and it was in bad shape so we removed the clutch and put a new one in. I had a RMS leak so I had them do the kit for that and for the Intermediate shaft too even though it wasn't leaking. All evidence is that my car was abused pretty hard. I am the 2nd owner.

Perfect car. Just had a major service last month. No issues. Driving along, no warning, no overheating, no warning lights. Just kapow, oil and smoke everywhere.

Looking at $15k repair. Porsche of America declined helping me in anyway. Great company, great car. Not.

Great chance tomake lemonade out of lemons perhaps. I have the same sled & I'd love to drop a 3.8l beast in it. It's 10 years old. They are all 'pre owned ' by now & many by satan himself I'm sure. I'm sorry for your loss, however I'm sure a solution will present itself. There's nothing cheap about owning these cars.
