Hello again

Disaster struck today - after 81k miles of use the clutch has finally gone on my 993 c2.

The box has worn syncros on 2nd and 3rd so while it's out for the clutch I thought I might as well get this sorted at the same time. The question is - who would you take it to? I've been recommended Tognola or BS motorsport ( Neil Bainbridge), but has anyone actually had experience of these companies for this type of work? If so please can you post replys detailing your experiences - or alternative recommendations.

Regards

Keith

How can you tell? If they are crunching going in, could this not have been the clutch?

James at Ninex in Maidenhead is your man -- ex-Charles Ivey and a wizard on such things.

Thanks for all the suggestions - I will let you know how I get on with whoever I choose.

I know the syncros are worn as 2nd has been crunching when cold for the last 45k miles!!

wish me luck with my wallet bashing.....
