Took the beast in for a leaky shift rod seal. Obviously I could drop the engine/gearbox myself and it would be a simple fix but after searching the forum I heard of others doing this repair without dropping the motor. Thought I might give it a shot but after jacking the car up and crawling under there was no way I would want to tackle this. Took it into Salerno Motorsports and they said no problem. As you can tell the car is highly modded with a built turbo 3.2/915 gearbox so after trying to explain all of the small things to watch out for with car, (let scavenge pump run for a few seconds after shut-down, ect) the owner assured me that he knew exactly what this car was all about and even races a longhood with a turbo 3.3. Not only did they replace the seal but the car was ready the very next day. As a guy who does everything himself I was extremely hesitant about leaving the car in anyone else's care. Needless to say they did an amazing super fast repair (engine in car) on a highly modded air cooled back date. I just thought that was cool. They also did some work on the 997 and they are all around a great shop to do business with if you own a Porsche of any era and live in Nor Cal. (Salerno Motorsports link below)

Did someone say shift rod seal ?



Tough little sucker.

What were the symptoms?

[pmax]

Tranny oil leaks where shift rod ... uh ... penetrates the tranny .... casing.

Thanks. Wasn’t sure if there was anything else other than the leak itself.
