What the heck??!

Checking around on rates for clutch and IMS replacement. Got a solid offer of about $2200 parts and labor. 24 month warantee and OEM parts.
Still waiting on the others, but that's going to be tough to beat.

And yes, I was driving it when the clutch failed completely, which possibly created more problems. 2 days from start to fail. It happens.

Let me know how you make out on this. I'm in the area and may eventually get my IMSB replaced.

Just wanted to close out on this thread. It's been awhile, but it's worth the effort...

After getting several quotes on fixing the clutch, I finally went to Weaver Auto Sports on Spring Forest in Raleigh. They were terrific! They replaced the clutch using all Porsche OEM parts, gave me a two year warranty on parts AND labor (transferrable, no less!), AND a 15% new customer discount (so about $2200 all in)!!!. The car has been running like a top ever since! Great service at Weaver! I don't take my car anywhere else.

That sounds about right.

When I had my IMSB done, if I had known about it I would have had the GBOX 2bd gear detent installed while the trans was out. Also got a new cap put on the bleeder on the clutch slave cylinder. With the transmission out the labor is super easy on these. Down the road if you go to bleed your clutch having a nice new cap on there will make it much easier. Due to the heat they often get rock hard and very hard to remove when working in the tight confines of that area.

The GBox detent is around $200 but the clutch slave cylinder cap should be around $1.00 for 1, something like this:
New Rubber Grease Nipple Covers Dust Caps Bleed Screw Caps x 5 | eBay

Or this (without the retainer strap)
Motorcycle Bleed Nipple Dust Covers 4 Pcs Black Silicone Rubber Suzuki Etc | eBay

The ones I got were from Podium Racing but I can't seem to find them now, they were just like this without the strap.

That will be the best $1.00 you ever spent if you go under there in the future to try and bleed the clutch hydraulics

Good luck, once you get everything sorted you will be back on the road and loving it!

I think the RMS let go in a big way.
