I recently purchased a 996 and handed the teener down to my son. I’ve been putting off doing any trans work until it grenaded while he was driving it yesterday.
I can row through all of the gears with my foot off the clutch and the car at a standstill. Towing it home, it sounded like a coffee can full of rocks… So sadly, the car is sitting in the garage until I find a good shop… I swore to my friends & family (just 2 days ago) that my wrench turning days were over so I’d really prefer to flatbed it somewhere rather than pull the transaxle myself. The hands have finally healed up after paint & body, lol. Anyone with experience @ aatransaxle.com in Duvall??? Any other recommendations? Thanks! |

Some things have changed in the last 24 months. I completely recommend against using ANY used bearings in the rebuilds. People are still doing it, but it is an unknown variable as to when, not if, it will fail. All old bearings that I have seen in the last 24mo have had light pits in them that are not easy to see if you dont know what to look for. This leads to noise and failure. I can get all of the bearings at a serious discount and can get your box here, built and back for wayyyyy less than $4k. Currently I have discounts on 1/R sliders to, for 50% off of retail. So, what I am saying, is that I can do it better and for less (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Hit me up and I can get you shipping info. PM and I can tell you the prices of parts and what to expect so you have data to go off of.
