Looks like lots of room in there once trans under brackets and shields are out of the way.

Did you do a new pilot bearing as well? Boxsters have them?

Going to replace clutch slave cylinder or master?

Glad(e) you replaced the DMF.

Nice work.
Thanks, Jase.

Yup Boxsters have pilot bearings. The new flywheel came with a pilot bearing already installed.

No issues with clutch hydraulics so I chose to leave them alone. I did bleed the system (no bubbles seen).

I was so excited to see a dry engine case when I removed the old flywheel that I forgot to snap a picture. The RMS looked good, so I decided not to mess with it. Ditto for the IMS bearing, mine looked fine from the outside: no oil leaking, retainer bolt not sheared off. I considered doing the Flat6 Innovations IMS bearing upgrade while I had it apart, but given only about 2% fail (best guess on some web boards) I didn't think the ~$700 cost was worth it.
