When my clutch goes one day I think I'll carry on with yanking the engine just so I can say I did and to show it who's boss. I should read the rest of your posting but did you do the Intermediate Shaft Bearing upgrade while you were in there? Was it as easy as it looks on YouTube? Enjoy your Boxster in Florida. All of ours are hibernating in garages or being eaten alive by road salt for another 2 months.

i told here she needs to come and check on me every half an hour when i work on the car, just to make sure the jack stands didn't collapsed, and i'm crashed under it
yes i did replaced the IMSB RMS flywheel and all clutch components.
i didn't get a chance to update the thread yet.
it is as easy as it looks on the video, but i have to admit some parts of my body was shaking while doing the bearing (and i'm not talking about my hands).
i did have some moment of frustrations, when i manage to mess up 2 RMS.
between the holidays and my work, i lost two weekends before completing this task.
i was lucky to be able to put back the trans by myself last weekend, and this weekend i put all other parts back and drove it for the first time.
clutch feels awesome.
just one correction, the engine stay in the car. the transmission needs to be removed.
