    Matt I had to like and subscribe. Anyone who could do this job by himself deserves that! I had my Honda in to the local Honda dealer for an oil change. It was just off the factory warranty and every once in a while when I turned the key nothing happened but if I hit it again it would start. Anyhow they wanted $850 plus tax for the starter replacement job. I told them no thanks and went to Autozone & got a lifetime guarantee starter for $298. Since I only have two portable ramps that I put in my driveway I couldn't get the car very high in the air. I could not extend my arms properly like if I would of had a lift which made it a miserable job. It took me the afternoon to get it done but I saved at least $550. I would not want to do it again but it was worth it. Outstanding car content Matt! Thank You!

    First time watching one of your videos. That looks like a nightmare to do. I do have a tip for you,. You can use a motorcycle jack to hold the transmission. They are low profile VS an actual transmission jack. It will almost keep it leveled for you so you don't have to muscle it too much. You can also add straps to keep it from moving around too. It just makes something like this easier on you. Just in case you ever have to do a other clutch on the floor.

    FYI, the part you referred to as the “dingbat” is the clutch guide tube. Typically it is recommended you replace this even though they look fine is that they have a special coating on them from the factory so you don’t need to grease it and risk grease getting thrown onto the friction surfaces.

    My 996 trans took a few hours also. Then I realized that the engine had dropped ever so little, the housing of the engine had dropped just below the cross brace. After a day of pondering why the transmission didn’t line up its was only then I realized I needed to raise the engine that was sitting on plywood sagged. Raising this a inch the transmission “slid” in

    I know your pain. I've done many clutch and transmission swaps over the years but my 1999 Audi Quattro was the worse. I purchased it with a bad auto trans so swapped it out for a "good used one". Keep in mind these are super heavy since an AWD trans and I'm doing it on tall 6 ton jack stands. Well the "good used one" lasted 60 miles and failed. So I said screw it and did a manual conversion. Yes, again removing the heavy beast of the auto trans. Fortunately the manual trans is light and narrower so "easier" to man handle. I'm 60 years old now, I did this back when I was around 55. Needless to say that's the last transmission I'm removing. lol Been repair cars over 35 years now and never used a lift. All on jack stands and mostly outside and on pavement. Did a clutch on my 2002 Audi Quattro on the gravel. Unfortunately had to do it twice because of a defective throw out bearing.

    The risk of removing the gearbox without dropping the motor you can put a lot of stress on some wiring as well as the motor mounts. A shop did this to mine and within 50 miles I had a misfire due to the wires on the cam position sensors getting tugged. They had intermittent glitches and needed to be replaced. It also smoked my motor mounts.

      @@martindelrio1891 Ok, quick answer: aside from the fact that the 911 is far and away the most successful sports car in history (60 years of having the motor in the wrong spot), just look at the 911's racing history. Actually, though the polar moment if inertia makes it harder to drive with the motor out back, for nearly everything else a vehicle needs to do on a track, having the motor out back is good! Acceleration, braking, etc vs the transition to steady state cornering (the hard part). And to top it off, removing a 911 motor is actually not that big a job to do. It's a bigger job in a 997 than a 1971 911T, but it's miles quicker than any front engined car of the same era (that I am aware of).

      @@matt13ross of course :). I'd be happy to! And also assist with your next go around of go fast parts and tuning! If you have e85 in your area, we should throw a set of 1100cc bosch injectors and a flash in there. It's amazing the difference between pump fuel vs E85 :).

    • @matt13ross
      @matt13ross  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'd love to go E85, I have it in my E36! But is it worth it with stock turbos? Also, can you install injectors without pulling the engine?

    • @protomotive
      @protomotive 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@matt13ross yes. With E85 you will improve the factor of safety ten fold over trying to make a lot of power on pump gas. These engines are pretty knock sensitive thus octane sensitive. E85 cures both, runs clean, cool and makes more power at the same time :). Lowering the engine on the sub frame allows you to change the injectors from the sides with the bumper/intercoolers off.

    Single mass flywheels don’t ruin drivability, try a GT3 or RS. They add character with the chatter at idle but massively improve engine response and gear changes.

    If you take on a job like this and then need Porsche to help with a specific task, they won’t. Won’t touch a job unless the car is there and they perform the complete repair. Really sucks.

    I can totally relate i do everything my self aswell and the balancing act with multiple hydrolic jacks becomes an art lol rewarding at the end but the struggle is real some times but solo duable. by the way Harbor freight has this prety cool kinda compact transmission scisor jack that is a game changer would een ypur best friend with that trans removal and install i last used it on my benz ml500 , dropped the heavy aese trans and transfer case as one moved it back just enough to do the rear main seal.
