Is it a engine job out to replace the clutch on the 996tt or is there enough room to simply undo all the bell housing bolts, prop shaft and lift the box out?? Had a quick look under the vehicle and it doesn't look to hard to get at. Anyone DIY'd the clutch and any special tools needed?

Cheers

 

Hi... The book tells you to drop the motor. It can be done with the motor in the car but it is a little tricky and if you drop one of the parts for the clutch fork in the bell housing you will need to drop the trans again. It can be done if you have a lift, trans jack, jack pole, and little hands Tim

 

I'll give it a try without dropping the motor. Done many tricky tight boxes before on many different vehicles and also HGV's so should be able to manage it, Just wanted to make sure it was possible to do without dropping the motor before giving it a try.

How many hours of labor should we expect if taking it to the shop?

 

Dropping the tranny for my guy = 8-10 hours. Motor= 12-15 ... I went with a complete kit with LWFW from Kevin at UMW. No issues and all went well. All RS stuff (964 RS fw, etc.).

Search...the lwfw thing comes up, but now is the cheapest it will ever be to do this mod....it makes noise, etc. But if you are a track/de/high performance person (not drag racing)...it seems to be welcomed by most.

who has the sickest deals on clutches?

 

Kevin at UMW. $1895 for GT3rs clutch/lightweight flywheel last time I checked.

 

Tim at RPM (first to reply to this post) REALLY took care of me with a custom clutchmasters setup. I LOVE the results and the price was unbeleivable.
