clutch replacement / excellence magazine back issu

[mark in sunnyvale]

I believe there was an excellence article on Boxster Clutch Replacement. I think it was the September 2003 Issue. Does anyone know if it's possible to order a back issue from the publisher. I can't seem to find their website! Thanks.

Try emailing the author for a copy. Jim Pasha japasha@aol.com.

I don't know the magazines rules on reprints or whether Jim can just send it to you. If you are still having problems finding it let me know and I'll make a copy for you.

Believe it or not Excellence does not have a site.

I have the article and will give it or mail a copy of it to you.

They sell back issues if they have any left and you want the orignial issue. 415-382-0580.

After you replace your clutch then you can help me do mine. Or I would suggest contacting Tim Benson at Fast Lane in Santa Cruz for a quote. He worked for AB and My-Porsche and now has his own shop. He put on a tech session for us last year.

Thanks for the offer Toolpants,I finally found a website that might be selling back issues, they didn't have it available a month ago. I had to pay 5 bucks to ship it though, oh well. No biggie. If they come back and tell me they don't have it, I'll take you up on your offer.

I just want to see what's involved in replacing the clutch. I just want to know if it's something I can attempt myself.

Here's my problem, my clutch would judder sometimes at engagement in 1st or reverse. It doesn't happen all the time, probably 10% of the time. It's a really nasty metallic rattling. It doesn't slip in any gear or any RPM once engaged.

I'll call around for quotes, if it's reasonable I'll just have someone else do it.

Thanks Loren and Jeff!

Any news on clutch replacement? Did you do it?

Thanks

The UK magazine 911 & Porsche World also had an article a few months ago.
