2008 GT3 5K mi. about 500 track miles. almost 1 yr old.

just noticed RMS leak oil a couple days ago. small blob about to drop. wiped it down. then today, see small drop of oil on garage floor. so i figure bring her in for repair and might as well do the LWFW.

dealer has the full kit on the FW side. what's the story with the crankshaft pulley? is the one on the RS different than on the gt3? i seem to recall reading from previouss thread that there were some differences. don't want crankshaft bolts start coming loose on me.

so, when doing LWFW, should the crankshaft pulley be changed too?

 

i think mine is gonna leak soon too

 

I swaped mine out for the RS pulley along with the RS bolt and washer when the dealer did the LWFW. Make sure your dealer install the crank pulley/bolt/washer with loctite and the proper torque spec.

 

so are these all the NEW parts we should use when doing the LWFW? did i miss anything?

PULLEY PARTS:
-RS pulley
-RS bolts
-washers

LWFW PARTS:
-RS pressure plate
-RS light weight flywheel
-RS clutch disc
-throw-out bearing
-guide tube
-flywheel bolts
-pressure plate bolts
-ring gear

thanks! simon, how long ago did you do this mod? haven't had any issues at all?

 

new mod joe!!...and we just talked about new mods last saturday.....lol

 

hehe. this one's not by choice. it's more like making something good out of a bad situation.

 

i did post the entire list on RL so I'll see if i can find it but looks right. Remember... different torque specs on that puppy

 

that'll be cool. hope Gunther (nice guy) at fremont porsche doesn't get pissed at me telling what parts to get, how much torque to apply and all that jazz.

 

What is the price tag on the parts list?

 

A month ago with 3 track days, no issue!

 

i don't have a price breakdown from the parts list above but dealer quoted me $1685 for the LWFW components and $185 for the crank pulley components.
