High performance GT3 clutch
I'm in the process of upgrading my 996 GT3 to 3.8 and while the engine is out, I would like to install a new clutch. Street driving and carving corners on the occasional canyon runs is all I do.
Any thoughts on a nice clutch/flywheel upgrade? |

Solid Flywheel and matching disc/PP. Not real need to go to the 4.0RS disc.

Thank you Jeff
The reason I'm asking is the suggestion that the solid flywheel combo has been linked to harmonic issues (noise and excess vibration). I have zero experience with theses cars (no rubber boots....lol) so all I can do is ask. |

The Sachs Sport clutch kit and stock FW will do fine. You engine is really a Metzger based design, so you could go with a LW FW if you like, but be prepared for the need to rev it off of a standing start and gearbox rattling at idle.

Also get the RS pulley set up. 996 102 017 95 pulley 993 102 550 80 bolt 14x1.5x40 999 025 174 02 washer This should solve the harmonic issue. This upgrade is easy to drive, in two standing starts you will get the extra incredibly small throttle input required. Never had a customer stall one... lol. The gearbox rattle will be in neutral with the clutch not depressed.... Just like an RS.... Not annoying at all, and quieter than a 991 GT3 PDK in neutral.... Other options are to stick with the stock flywheel and go with an aftermarket clutch kit of some quality (no experience) . The nice thing with the RS upgrade is that it is all factory parts with the same reliability, release characteristics, pedal feel and able to handle lots of power. Cheers

No apologies required.
We have done a few aftermarket set ups in the 996 turbo in the meantime. Contact me offline (email available through my profile) and we can discuss your exact needs. Cheers
