I've had a problem with my Porsche 911. It was making an odd noise on start up and a strange groaning noise when pulling away. I took the car to my trusted Porsche tech Matt Barnett at Rennworks in Stevenage. Thing is we ended up going down a bit of a rabbit hole of investigating faults, sorting the IMS bearing and RMS plus doing some upgrades courtesy of @design-911 and @EBCBrakesUK .
Then for reasons you'll see I had to enlist the help of Ed from Ed's Car Care to fix something else on the car. And just when I thought everything was sorted... something else went wrong.
Huge thanks to

yeah dual row bearing cars (earlier cars) are a bit more durable from the factory. The later non turbo cars had the single row bearings. This is the reason that of the .1s, the very early cars are a bit more desirable than the later, pre facelift .1 cars. For this reason, many owners of the early 996s dont address the IMS issue; it's not as prevalent

Had the IMS bearing swapped for an EPS unit on my low mileage 2004 986 3.2S on the recommendation of my local independent specialist. The RMS was replaced courtesy of Porsche.

Good luck with your Porsche Mat, I'm sure that shop will have it sorted in no time.

Fitting an SMF to a unbalanced stock engine is not a good idea. The DMF absorbs and balances out imbalances in the rotating mass of the engine. You can get issues such ax pseudo knock and power losss and other problems by doing this. The GT3s which have a SMF have hand built fully balanced engines, a stock M96 does not.

The white, nylon triangular shifter side lever causes slop, too. There's a metal one on UniWerks that fixes this. Also, swapping out the clutch pedal return spring helps with the "on or off" feel of the clutch pedal. The shifter lines also wear a lot at connection points, but just the connections can be rebuilt for cheap. Doing all of that shifter and clutch work will reveal second gear pop-out issues, so if it happens, spend the 5 pounds for the ball bearing upgrade (it acts by adding tension to the spring).

I remember when you first bought the 996 and made a video on it. I have to admit that at first I thought to myself “This won’t last long.

My C2 3.6 gets thrashed regularly, and didn't need doing until 100k plus.

The footage from the workshop showed the car green and I thought you gave it a green paint job..turns out the lighting was the reason..

I'm dying to know what the gearbox leak is all about. Anyway, great work Mat. My previous 911 was 2000 996 Cab. I owned it for 20 years. It had 7 RMS and 3 IMS replaced! But I loved that car. I only had to get shut when the cab roof mechanism started to fail. To costly. I had a Fabspeed exhaust kit put on mine and a Kahn body kit with 19" wheels. What a car. While my new 911 is heaven sent, I miss my old darling 911 996.

My 996 has 216k miles on its original engine (inc. IMS)… I doubt a rattle is the IMS… much more likely timing chains until the oil pressure builds. IMS replacement is the biggest money spinning con in the 996 world. Try it on 10w50… quietened mine down.

Great to hear you have so many miles! I felt the same way with this video, it just didn't seem right from start to finish. If your engine has a rattle, what has that got to do with the IMS? I feel these indies just want people to spend money and scare them. Why didnt he check the oil leak further? I dont know if its unrelated after taking out the gearbox which was needless to do in the first place.

@@christopherbeevor9315 so my main point is still correct, the video was just a scaremongering one for 996 owners or potential owners as the so called diagnosis was noting related to what the original problem was, which he didn't show us either.

Dual Row IMS bearing in the 3.4 , it'll be still in perfect condition. , get the IMS seal changed as they often leak as well as the RMS. New clutch and flywheel while you're in there.

PCCM+ is absolute perfection. I installed one on my 986 S and it is now the perfect blend of modern convenience and classic mechanical Porsche. I look forward to my next project being a 996!

Cant really tell from the video but would be interesting to hear how much yours chatters compaired with mine As i was advised to fit a sprung clutch to help stop some chatter but mine still makes quite a chatter and looks like youve reused the standard clutch

Thank you for making this video. I think the moral of the story is that the known issues of the M96 engine are over-hyped. I’ve owned my ‘99 996 for six years and it’s been amazing. Do the maintenance on these cars and they’ll treat you well.
