944 repairs to tackle.
Okay, I am a new 944 owner (83' with 92K or maybe even 192k?), I had the car checked out and it is currently having the TB, CS, pullies etc. being done. I am told that it will need a clutch, oil pan gasket, engine mounts, and wheel bearings. Here are my questions.
1. While I have not ever replaced a clutch in a car before, I am mechanically inclined. I taught myself how to rebuild both 2 stroke and 4 stroke motorcycle engines. So should I tackle this clutch myself and if so should you also replace the rear main since it is there? How difficult??
2. Wheel bearings appear to be a pretty simple job, are they?
3. I understand that if you are doing the oilpan gasket, while you are there you should also do the rod bearings? Since you have the motor loose you should also do the mounts. How bad are these jobs? How do you support the motor?
I really bought this car knowing that I would get dirty working on it, and I would prefer to do most of it myself. BUT, for the sake of the car are some of these best left to a Porsche wrench, or are they all well within a person of "learning"skill level?
