Well i pulled the transmission and clutch and i dont see any damage, however the clutch is used up the rivets were just about flush with the clutch material.

hopefully ill put in the new sachs clutch and it will be as good as new

oh and there is a line on the pressure plate that looks like a crack, it is really a streak of oil from my greasy hands

and while i am in there i know i need to replace the intermediary shaft bolts, check the RMS and replace the flywheel bolts, any other general maintenance i need to do while the tranny is out?

Why are you going to replace the flywheel bolts? Are you removing the flywheel??? There is an upgrade to the release level.. Looking at yours it appears to be the old model. I would upgrade...

yes i have found that there is an updated release lever, i will be replacing it, i am replacing the flywheel bolts because i will be removing it to update the ims bolts.

those are the 2 updates i know of, i have replaced the Air oil separator 6 months ago, so that is ok, kinda would like an aluminum flywheel but dono if i wanna spend that much money, i have purchased the sachs clutch off ebay for $358.

I will also be checking the RMS seal, hopefully i wont have to mess with it, kinda scared to touch that....

also since the sachs clutch doesn't have springs on it, if i get the aluminum flywheel will the not work together since the flywheel will no longer have springs on it?

You have to clean the pressure plate to see cracks. The cracks ( always in the diaphragm ) are located where the fingers begin.

My friend and I just did the clutch on his 04 and my 99. We stuck with stock Porsche parts, which I believe are fine. I had ordered the RMS just in case but mine was dry and did not need to be replaced. His was ok as well...

Good luck....

well i got the new clutch in and the updated parts and i am still having issues the clutch is sticking and the pressure is not there, and the slave just started spewing liquid, so new clutch slave for me....

on order, waiting another week

at least i caught the clutch before it messed up the flywheel, it was defiantly worn out!

next question is how do i bleed the clutch after i replace the slave?

Congrats and glad all went well. Did you use a power bleeder or do it the old fashion way?

old fashion way. Is it necessary to power bleed with the brakes or can i use the same approach? I had left over fluid and was thinking about bleeding the brakes
