My clutch is starting to slip noticeably in any gear above 4th as soon as the boost hits. With 53k miles and flashed ecu pushing up the power it is time for a new clutch I fear. Its sucks to have this unexpected expense, but I am trying to look at this as an opportunity.

I plan on buying the clutch kit and then having it installed by a local shop. This is my first clutch experience with a 996tt so i really would appreciate some help. I think it would be smart to upgrade the clutch to match the power and would appreciate suggestions. I have heard sachs stage 2 (sport)...clutch masters....help I am lost. Please be specific to what I need to buy...kit or part numbers...I have been researching this for a while and still am a little unclear what I need.

Thank you in advance

 

Both good choices. I personally like the Sachs.

 

• Clutch Disc
• Pressure Plate
• Pressure Plate Bolts
• Throw-Out Bearing
• Throw-Out Bearing Guide Tube
• Flywheel
• Flywheel Seal
• Flywheel Bolts
• Clutch Release Lever
• Main Shaft Seal
• Clutch Alignment Tool

I took that^^ off our site. I'm not entirely sure if you'll need everything on that list but I figured it'd be a good starting point. What year is your Turbo? Any power mods?

 

read my signature.. this clutch is good for 650 hp..

 

My car is a 2002 and the only power modification is a EPL flash

 

ERP Carbon/Carbon twin disc will pretty much never have to be replaced again at your power level and will drive nice

 

i have the sachs, it feels almost like stock imo, really glad i went that route, wasnt any harder to drive than when it was stock

 

I had 2 clutch masters set ups and didn't like them as much as my current 999 Sachs set up.

 

where can I get the sachs kit?

 

Clutch master and LWFW.. Noisy and grabs very high at the top of the clutch pedal. I had GT2 slave conversion done at the same time also so takes a little getting used to.

 

Go on Sachs Performance Web sites.

 

search the web for a indy shop/ distributor , or you can order from sachs! just make sure you get all the incidentals and change your slave cylinder at the same time.. its already bad.. i changed mine to the 997 so it feels like a honda clutch when I'm in traffic.. the most any shop should charge you is 8hr!

 

they have 2 available on sachs performance website for the 996tt....is it the SRE Performance clutch kit?

 

what do you want? mine is the one good for 650 hp. its street name is sachs 2.5.
