    on my Boxster the clutch is getting pretty hard i only noticed it when
    i was driving a new golf yesterday.
    the car is 8 years old and its the original clutch in it from 2000 (65k mileage)
    does anyone know how easy they are to replace or have to to disassemble the gear box
    someone told me they are like the old opels and can just drop out once you take off the housing
    any tips appriciated as been quoted 1.5k from dealership :eek:
    the acctual clutch itself is only 200 quid on ebay

    You wouldn't have to disassemble the gearbox for a clutch change. Its not exactly a small job though. They should be a few private mechanics in Dublin that are porsche heads and I say you could get the job done a lot cheaper from them.

    fwiw, my local #1 charges 40/hr, taking my 968 box out today. local #2 charges 35 - what are ye paying on the East coast?

    Boxster job is not a small one, btw.........at any rate ! As for Belgard - complete shower of wasters. Condescending if it's not (near-) new, and never return calls or requests for parts.....thank God for the internet.

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
