Are there any?

Trans is out, nows the time to decide. Im probably going to replace the clutch fork due to wear anyway.

 

Go for it.....so much more feel on the engagement point.....takes a little more to depress but you get used to it pretty fast.....

 

that's one of those mods to think about its potential for resale questions or concerns from unknowledgeable buyers. plus the assisted "action" is just that. some buyers might prefer it.

they won't know it's *probably* how the clutch should feel and operate.

this from a guy that has had two chances to do it and balked. three accumulators later. wait, thats btw 2 cars lol

 

i do regret i didn't do it 2 yrs earlier!! just the knowledge ill never have to replace the petosin setup is worth it to me. just make sure you flush flush and flush again before installing the gt2 m/c and slave.

 

No question about it. If your gearbox is out, drill and tap it and use all factory parts. Don't use the bracket. With a 764 PP the clutch will be stiffer that a GT2 or GT3 but it's nothing you won't forget about within 2 minutes of driving the car. Remove all the old lines, swap out the reservoir to a tip/gt2 version, and remove the coupler from the power steering pump. Don't skip that!

 

I choose to keep the stock assisted setup and have no regrets. Guess you have to ask yourself what you're trying to solve or fix. It was good enough for Porsche engineers to put in the assisted setup. After fixing mine with fresh parts, there's absolutely no vagueness or compromises with a properly working setup.

As pointed out above, if you have to use an even heavier than stock pressure plate like the 999.764 porsche SRE PP, you might want to think twice about going non-assisted.

 

I agree, Porsche engineers are some of the best in the world and had it right for what they were tasked with...building a GT performance car. The GT2 is designed to be the all out performance monster and if that is what you're looking for then GT2 conversion is for you. With that said, I'm having the conversion done as we speak while the car is getting a clutch

 

Tap & drill - no regrets.

 

Best mod so far. I used EVOMS kit.

 

No regrets. For one day..actually half a day..the clutch felt harder. Then my setpoint was reset, and it feels normal. I have the 'heavier than normal SRE PP'

You could also give a shout out to see if someone is local and will let you check theirs out.

 

That's what I am trying to find...someone local.

 

this my take on it also. *when* it's working properly, i have no complaints, engagement points or "vagueness". i chose to keep mine stock and i am often double clutching... ( i know..i know ).

i've replaced 3 accumulators an 1 slave in two differnt cars. i find issues tend to devleop ( when they do ) in freezing or below temps, which we actually get in the dead of winter.

 

I have had several generations of Porsche 911's throughout my life, spanning many, many years. None of the original designs had assisted clutches. This is a newer design element that IMO significantly detracts from and reduces the drivers connection with the car. I purchased my car new and the clutch was perfectly fine when I picked it up. The first thing I noticed was the vague clutch feel, so it has nothing to do with being new or working properly. It's the design. I have driven enough 996TT's to know it's how they all are and that personally, it's not for me. A new or first time Porsche owner may not know any different, but I feel it was a step back for Porsche in the sports car aspect of the car and a step forward in the daily driver comfort that seems to be their target market nowadays. I did the conversion many years ago and would hate to go back to the OEM clutch.

 

I would not do it as my car is stock and dream lol that it will stay that way=but agree the clutch feel would be much better without the assisted set up and also not worth the maintenance in my opinion.

 

Interesting thoughts.

Here where I'm at. I've been running a cm 3. It had high engagement and narrow window of on/off

Staying with the same clutch, going to replace the fork anyway.

I got used to the tricky clutch but hard to launch, my engagement didn't change or anything, just being high made it weird.
