525 ish km's is my best effort ever. That is a 3.2l Boxster S so not sure about fuel tank size differences (if any) and the difference in consumption based on engine size. This was achieved with city...

My motor and transmission mounts were replaced when I did the clutch. Replaced them with Wevo semi-solids so I can safely say it isn't the mounts, everything is tied down fairly tightly.

Yes, this seems to be the closest description to what I am experiencing. My old clutch engaged very near the top, just as the new one does. A couple of inches of engagement is all that is really...

Yes, this is the type of thing I am dreading. Still, a $5k fix and my 2nd gear problem would be gone too... it is the only thing that prevents my wife from driving the car, the fact she misses 2nd...

It would make for a very big coincidence if this were the case, as the noise was exactly the same with the old dual-mass and toasted clutch, also, the noise developed when the old clutch still had...

I'm tempted to say yes, as I too have what I suspect to be a very similar setup to you. The only difference is that this noise was EXACTLY the same with the OEM dual-mass flywheel and solid clutch...

Do you mean whilst stationary? Clutch in or out when in neutral makes no appreciable difference, maybe very slightly although I would put this down to the sprung clutch, it is barely perceivable.

The rattle is only when coming off the clutch and accelerating slowly and it is more pronounced when under a load (ie. uphill).

It is more like your former description of wobbly plates, a clack,...

Drivetrain Rattle

General de Gaulle had a 1962 Citroën DS that developed an oil leak and the OAS was certainly blamed for that one. ;-)

Seriously though, it might be a good idea to wash the engine down so you can...

I had Pagid RS-5 on the front and Pagid Blue 4-2 on the rear of my 986 S previously.

Yes, I forgot to mention the SQUEAL that the Pagid RS5 pads made. The noise dampers would not fit with them, not that it would have made much difference though, they were very loud until warm or used...
