The engine is basically identical, and you can do it in the car. Unlike the older cars you can easily drop just the transmission.

I implore you to find a 911 that doesn't apply to that statement. Except the air cooled cars are no longer cheap. I've owned 5 M96 cars, all had over 50k with their original IMS. If it's a major concern drop $700 for the LN kit and have your clutch replaced, the labor is incremental at that point.
I consider the 996 to be the first real no compromise 911. Nicely optioned, good ride, good MPG, good trunk space, working cruise and A/C, all while being better to drive than nearly every past 911.
