Friends,

You may have heard about my clutch problems and the way my wife drove my car ... However, after a lot a search, I need to make sure I will be doing the right thing ! My problem is Instant grab,hardly any modulation and solid engagement,no cushioning at all. On a dead stop, it is so hard to have a correct normal launch that 1 out of 5 times, I either stall or jerk the car at a red light !! No need to talk about if I am on a steep hill !!

So my plan is to remove the tranny and resurface the flywheel. Dan at Vivid sold me this clutch long time ago and at the time I bought it, I was convinced that it will feel and drive AS IF it was oem Turbo clutch. He sold me something called Clutchmaster Stage 3 Fibertough.

Now, the more I read, the more I think the CM3 is a Instant grab,hardly any modulation and solid engagement,no cushioning clutch. Is that true, anyone has that clutch.

I need to confirm it is the normal behavior of this clutch and not a flywheel problem or clutch problem, as the clutch has barely 500 miles on it when it started to act like that...

Car is 996TT k24/18G

 

Seems some have problems with this set up. That has not been my experience. I have the CM3 and a LWFW. At idle I can just slowly let out clutch in first and get underway. No grabbing, no jitters no drama.

 

Bo, you are still alive? Thought you were out of the Porsche turbo world.

 

Hey Alex ! How are you.. I do still own my 996 TT cab.. but I drove about 500 miles the last 4 years (coincidentally with the born of my kids) ... I am planning on driving more this year but I just hated my clutch that it takes away the pleasure of driving

And you, how are you ?

Bo
