Hi guys, I was looking for a good clutch kit for my car. For now, it's about 530 HP, but I often think about K16 Billet, one day...

However, my curent clutch has died and I looked some places on the web to find the good one. But what a mess !!!

There are so many references...
And some speaks without ref', naming the kit 2.5, or 3... But there are so many more than two or three kits...

Look at that!!! So many possibilities!

Look:
on its website, only about rigids, Sachs racing deals with
881861 000029
881864 001098
881864 999944

https://webcat.zf.com/index.asp?country=F&SPR=6

As other example,FVD sells an other one:

http://www.fvd.de/de/fr/Porsche-0/Ca...A0_785_Nm.html

And I saw other references on other websites that I don't remember...

Finally, I found a kit on Ebay, at very good price, with the sport pressure plate and sachs perf disc. The reference of the disc is: 1849002358 or 1864000141
To see it, it's this one:
http://www.rosepassion.com/fr/cat/po...-rigide/P87549

Maybe there are different products for differents places, and we don't have same products than you, in the USA. I don't know...

But I still got the hesitate to keep this disc or to sell it to buy an Sinter disc.

So, is there really a big difference between this two discs ?
What are the real differences in using and conduct ?
Why to choose one or other ?
Will not the sinter disc be too hard ?

I also wanted to buy a light flywheel, but is it really interesting on a 996 turbo ?
I read here that some guys are no happy with it...
But maybe it's better with a sport clutch or sinter... I don't know...

 

drop pwdrhound a pm message. he can guide you to a factory feeling sachs clutch setup that will hold all your power and more at a reasonable price

 

Sachs Motorsport 764 pressure plate / 997GT3RS 4.0 disc / 964RS LWFW. While at it, get rid of the TT clutch assist and install the GT2 parts. You'll end up with a perfect clutch set up..

 

Pwdrhound, do you know anything about the 487 pressure plate (88-3082-001-487-M410)?

I read somewhere that the 487 is good for 1000nm versus 890nm for the 764.

 

That's the OEM 997GT3RS 4.0 pressure plate. It's bolted versus riveted and it's supposed to handle greater RPMs. I've been told that it's a 1000NM plate but I'm not so sure as it's hard to believe Porsche would be installing such a strong plate on a non turbo car. With that said, a friend of mine is running it on a Cobb tuned 997TT with good success. The true test would be to compare it side by side with the 764 plate to see which has the stronger spring bands.

Thank you guys for your answers.


-Sachs motorsport 764: It's seems that it's what I already have in my kit

-964 RS flyghwheel: Do you mean the original Porsche part 964 102 239 31 ?
My choice was that part because I saw on FVD.de that it was lighter than all others I saw. I can buy it for about 320$ (356 USD today) in France, I just guess I have to buy the ring and the screws more. But it's seems to be a good deal. Did you test it ? What about those who say it's not a good mod' because of the vibrations etc... ?

-997 gt3 rs 4.0 disc: Ok, but OUCH!!! The price !!! It hurts !
It's twice the price of a Sachs!!! Does it really worth it ?
I'm afraid it's too expensive for me. What to choose between the 2 sachs if I can't buy a RS4.0 ? And why ?
Why do you think the RS 4.0 is a better choice ?

GT2 mod is already on its way

 

Don't skimp out. Do it right with the right parts even if you have to spend more. The 4.0 disc is the latest design and is very quiet. It's definitely worth it. Here is what you need to use:

Sachs 764 clutch pressure plate (88.3082.999.764)
997GT3RS 4.0 clutch disc (997.116.013.91)
964 LWFW (964.102.239.31)
Flywheel bolts 9x (928.102.151.01)
Pilot bearing (931.102.111.00)
Throwout bearing (944.116.080.01)
Guide tube (950.116.813.30)
Guide tube bolts 2x (999,270.070.01)
Ring gear (964.114.143.31)
Pressure plate bolts 9x(999.510.015.02)

 

Does the 964 LWFW chatter/noisy?

 

No. It's barely audible when gearbox is fully hot otherwise it's quiet. The parts I listed above is basically what the factory installs on the 997GT3RS cars except they do not use the heavy duty 764 plate. Porsche does not install stuff that would be objectionable to the average buyer, unless they expect something that's Lexus quiet.

 

Nice of you to put all the right parts up over and over again in your posts.
Hopefully people just go with what is proven in a similar application and save themselves future headache.

The other parts I replaced were the clutch fork/shaft, needle bearings, plastic cups and metal locking tab.

Last thing you want to do is have to pull it out again for some $90 item you skimped on.

 

Thank you very much for the list pwdrhound. I'll try to find this.
