Interesting that you happened to choose that example -- also check out the standard time required to change a 944's clutch. IIRC it was 10.5 hours! Sometimes it seems that German car engineering is just a little too clever for it's own good.

That being said, I'm glad I owned a 944 for a few years. Good fun.
