Rear main seal w/clutch job??
I just rec'd and email from the owner of a '99 996 I'm interested in (90k mls.). He specified in the ad that it had a new clutch so I inquired if the mechanic had also replaced the rear main seal. He said he called the "(expert Porsche guy)" and they replaced "...the Disc, Plate , bearing , and Slave Cylinder - the seal was not replaced as no need."
Now I've worked on numerous cars, but never a 996, Is there any sane reason to have NOT replaced the RMS while the clutch was being done?
