[boyt911sc]

Subseamark,

There is a good reason why dropping the engine and transmission together makes more sense. Unless you are an experienced mechanic with the right set up, removing the engine alone is not as easy as you think for 911 engines. And because of this controversial procedure, I contacted more than 50 Diyer’s, Porsche mechanics, shop owners, and engine rebuilders across the country and a few from overseas to find out their preferred procedures or methods.

The question was “ I have an SC with 915 manual transmission and like to do a clutch job so what is your preferred method?”.
a). Remove the engine and transmission as a tandem. Or
b). Remove the engine separately and leave the transmission in the car.

Everyone recommended “a” except for one who claimed to do both “a” and “b”. There were 3 known individuals well known in this forum who advocated “b” method. So in my spare time, I contacted some via emails and drove hundreds of miles to personally interviewed some of these participants in my survey.
