How Much For A Clutch Repair 2001 Boxster S

08-20-2020, 09:14 AM

I recently bought a 2000 boxster with 41000 mi. I was discussing with my Porsche mechanic replacing the IMS begetting with the clutch to exist worry free. He said not a good idea. He believes the failure charge per unit is depression and actually replacing the begetting could lower the value of the auto as it is recommended that these be replaced every 3 years while an original if non failed early on in driving these cars, is more reliable than those with a replacement. He states there are too many mechanics not replacing them correctly and when 1 buys one with a replacement done, it is a run a risk.

Why is he your Porsche mechanic? What other cars in his shop are getting what kind of work? My mechanic would have several engines in tear down and several cars in race prep. That is how I know they knew Porsche.

I don't see many postings on the forums I frequent that say that a qualified installer installing a quality IMS replacement kit leads to bug. I'm certain at that place are some but I can't call back ane in the last viii years and over a half dozen forums on 3 continents.

As for that every 3 years, that is outdated info with respect to many bearing suppliers.

You need a new mechanic; nada he has told yous is correct.

Seeing how you are in PA, yous should heed to JFP In PA and drib your electric current 'Porsche mechanic' and transport JFP a PM and maybe get his store to look at the car. Hell, if I was in PA and not in MB,CA that's what I'd do. Doing the IMS while replacing the clutch is adept advice and a no brainer as far as I'k concerned.

PS, JFP has over 5,400 posts on this forum. How much involvement does your current mechanic have in the Boxster customs?

Ask your mechanic if he has e'er heard of LN Engineering science?

As a mechanic I can say that your mechanic doesn't desire to get involved with an IMS bearing replacement. It might be he doesn't feel comfortable doing it on someone else's car. Or it might just not make adept business since for him to get involved in an IMS replacement.

Instance in point I just painted a van for a guy downwards the street from me (side work obviously). And I noticed this old behemoth van was leaking a little ATF from the output shaft seal. I told the guy about it, and he wanted me to tap in a new one. I don't wanna mess with information technology and it didn't make good concern sense for me to get involved with replacing this seal. Besides, one-time vehicles (this one was from the early 80s) have rusty bits, obnoxious parts to locate, and any dodgy previous repairs to deal with****. SO I told him to take it to a trans shop. I'chiliad capable, I can do it; I don't want to do information technology. Your mechanic might be in this situation; and I don't arraign him.

Granted I wouldn't do an IMS at 41k and why practice you need a clutch at 41k??? Maybe the plastic parts in the IMS have degraded with age??

^^^ Goes to bear witness I don't piece of work on Porsche engines and I'd probably wave away someone else'south H6 IMS bearing task too. LOL

*** EDIT: likewise I'm just not motivated. I wanna piece of work on my own Boxcar

Can�t help but weigh in...replacing the IMS, once your in there is like shooting fish in a barrel, don�t encounter how you could mess up and not know information technology. That said, the 98 has a double-row, very low failure rate. I replaced mine with a non-LN because of the ridiculous warranty requirements and inflated price, but just considering I was in at that place. The removed bearing was a double row also and was perfect at 89K. Upside is when I sell it, it has a new begetting. Done right. IMHO, these are cars for people that work on them, and enjoy it. I also recollect they are easy to work on. taking it to a mechanic for everything ruins the cost of ownership model for me. YMMV. enjoy it, they are a blast to drive.

If you're lucky you might find a decal like this 1 from LN Engineering. Otherwise, you could inspect the IMS bearing flange to run across if it has been replaced. Some retrofit bearings use the OEM flange so you lot tin't e'er tell by this method either. I recall the most reliable source would exist a documented service order from a reputable repair store.

With the cover off you can both test the bearing and run into if it has been replaced.

You can bodge the install of an IMS bearing pretty easily. Either by being rough with the IMS shaft and/or the bearing during removal/fitting.

You do not need to spend much coin on a new bearing $ten or and then will secure you a acme quality original type.

Source for bearing? Burner�due south blog specs the bearings pretty well, merely it has to be perfect and robust. I would expect to pay 40-threescore bucks for the begetting and still not be comfortable. Peace of mind fabricated me buy from a source I can�t remember, just was several hundred dollars for a cylindrical ceramic. The stakes couldn�t be higher in this instance.
As for the task, taking the begetting out will ruin information technology, but freezing the new and gently heating the engine case allow�s the bearing driblet right in. Just be gentle and information technology�s easy.

If it`southward a dual row, you won`t be able to but replace it to another 1 because that size is not commercially available, I recall never was. You tin can fit in a new one only you will need a spacer. Also, if it`s the original dual row I wouldn`t bear on information technology. It`due south a robust bearing that rarely fails.

Rob175 Registered User Join Date: Apr 2022 Location: Lincolnshire, IL Posts: 374	My Porsche mechanic (large Porsche, MB and Jag shop, lots of experience) says he knows all about the IMS "issues" just goes on to say in their 35 yrs they've only seen TWO get bad. His advice to me on my pristine 98' was to "not worry and just drive and relish". I'm going to follow his communication. My 22 twelvemonth old Boxster just turned 90,000 miles and just got its yearly oil and filter change (about 4,000 summer miles a year)........and all is good.

I practise have additional questions. Should I wait until the clutch needs repacing and at that time exercise the IMS and RMS and what IMS fix is preferred. Thanks in advance for your help.
