So how do I know if the flywheel needs replacement?
I'm planning on doing a clutch replacement (as well as RMS and IMS bearing, replacement of tranny fluid, etc.) over Christmas.
I thought I would buy a "super kit" from Pelican but I only have 55k on my 2001 Boxster S (manual) and don't want to replace the flywheel unless
it needs it.
I cannot find the TSB that Wayne references on his Pelican site so I don't know what the procedure is for testing it. Is this a test I can run at home or do I need to sophisticated/specialized tools?
Also, my clutch pedal is VERY stiff - the service tech thought I must have the left leg of a gorilla - and so recommended replacement of the clutch. But every reference I've read suggests the clutch needs replacement when it is (1) slipping, or (2) getting really soft on the pedal. Mine is neither so I'm a bit confused.
Advice welcome.
cheers,
S.
