Crank Position Sensor Bracket 700

This exact thing happened to my '94 945 (245k miles) about a year ago. Driving down the freeway I started hearing a "whine". It was engine speed sensitive and would come and go. Tried to diagnose it on the road with no luck. So, I just kept driving. (100 miles to get home) At about 15 miles to get home I heard a bang and the engine quit. Bracket must have been semi-broken and hanging there. Finally the vibrations got the better of it and the sensor dropped into the flywheel with a boom.

I tried everything to reach the bracket, cut it out, reglue it, etc. After about 3 days of messing around with it I just pulled the engine and transmission. It was about 15 hours to get it all out, fixed, and back in. Though, I've done it a few times before on that car so I knew what I was getting into.

On the plus side, when you have the engine/tranny out you can fix all of those annoying seals that you can't reach and have been dripping in your garage. =)
