Porsche is not a company that would do that if the 996TT seal was the simple answer.

There is no "problem" with the engine or car other than the pesky seal itself.

If you are considering a car that has a RMS leak its not a big deal especially if you can negotiate the price of repair into the price of the car, mostly all my customers have upgraded the clutch when having the RMS seal serviced.

Happy to help if you need some advice on the issue feel free to drop me a line.


Our satelite race shop (17,000 sq ft) is located in Mentor Ohio and the work could be done there if needed.
