Clutch/ Flywheel, and entire tranny for that matter appear to be NEW.. as well as a control arm and a crossmember... this thing took some hit.

just read were the 968 varicam is engaged from 1500-5500 rpm... anyone know what rpm's the 996 is....... I saw once it was 3200 and since then have not been able to re-confirm ----- if it is 1500 range then I am off base on some thinking (like that will be a big surprise)

so the flywheel is new but could be mounted on a bent surface (crank) I would suggest if you go back in the to put an indicator on the flywheel surface and turn the crank over to see if it is running true (even though it is new)

Ahhh yes, the impulse buy. Been there, done that. 
FWIW, You are not alone. In fact I did not get a PPI on my 911 when I bought it, and neither did the guy who just bought it from me (sight unseen).

OK, I PROMISE that is the last Tip joke I make about your car...... unless you buy another car with a Tip.
BTW, PDK doesn't count.

So what's up with the horror story? Any chance of being able to run the car with out the trans and flywheel attached?
If you are getting billed for all the mech work then man are you getting hit hard.

I found the 2001 Porsche TT in Phoenix, where the car has been since 2003. I contacted the Porsche dealer which nothing but good things to say about how the car was maintained through the years. Don Jackson Enterprises is completing the PPI in Phoenix for me tomorrow and we will go from there.

maybe more than one issue?
One, engine off car going 60 mph has vibe. Rules out Flywheel or anything past the clutch forward
Car sitting still rev to 3K car NOT MOVING has vibration... If clutch is in rules out anything clutch back.
I think he has 2 issues.
