    None of the one's that you mentioned, only the oem clutch kit (clutch, pressure plate & throw out bearing)
  2. maniac
    Thanks I will follow your lead
  3. maniac
    Yes, Thanks!, I'm in the Mc Allen Texas area.

    Not he just stay on his position, that he already checked with his Lawyer, that he doesn't have any obligation to fix the car. Poor Ethics & was a very bad recommendation. <_<

    I have a '02 996 C2 with just 47000 miles, I found that after my first DE track driving my car began to make clutch noises, the problem was the throw out bearing, the mechanic installed a new OEM clutch kit that included this part, just one week later that I went to my 2nd. DE, again the same noise, now the mechanic mentions that is the same problem, but that he will charge me again the same amount of labor, because the problem is the part. Does this cars have a weak throw out bearing?, Did you have this similar issue?, How do you take care of it? :cursing:
  7. maniac
    Which type of brake pads do you recommend me, for my 996 that will be good in performance for DE, but will not be very noisy for driving on the street?.

    Hi geoffbaltz, I'm very interest on installing the same setup that you have SPEC Stage 1 plus the AASCO LWFW on a '02 996 C2. What has been your experience after the installation?, Did your ride improved?, Still noisy?, How does it behave on the street?, Compared to OEM which one do you prefer?. Did you had to specify on your order the sprung clutch, or all of them come that way?, What is included in the clutch kit (throw out bearing, etc)?

    Any one has experienced the SPEC 1 clutch & the Fidanza flywheel set up in the street and on the track?. I'm thinking on installing them on a '02 996 C2

    Hi racing97, Which setup do you have?, Price? :lightbulb:
  11. maniac
    Where did you get your Alm flywheel FLW106411?, Is it made from Aluminum? Weight?,Number of bolts?, Price?, If it is not made from aluminum, why did you chose it?, any problem after installation?, your total parts cost? I was looking for another option beside the wide offering of the aluminum flywheels (because of the noise that they make), then I read an article called "Flywheels - On the fly" on the europeancarweb, and it mentioned the big advantage of the Single Mass Flywheel over the Dual mass, that beside the increased performance, it made some noise, (but probably not that noisy compared with the aluminum flywheels), also mentioned that Porsche went with this decision for better performance in the GT3, I found that the 03-04 Porsche 996 GT3 Carrera RS has it, and that part weights 11.5 lbs.

    On my '02 996 C2, What do I need to replace my Dual Mass Flywheel for a Single Mass Flywheel ("RS" Version) (11.05 lbs.) ?

    My car has 47000 miles, at this time my clutch doesn't slip or grab is only the sound that is making from the throw out bearing, just wanted an advise from the experts before going to the repair shop. Great advises! :thankyou: :cheers:
  14. maniac
    Have any one of you Guys changed the clutch to your 996?. I got divided opinion between 2 mechanics, one tell me that the flywheel can be machined & the other one told me, that flywheels are not machined that I need to buy a new one. Please advice. :help:
  15. maniac
    On a unmodified 996, which clutch replacement do you prefer?
  16. maniac
    Hi all, I will like to have the advantage of the LWFW but without the rattle. Which will it be the right Clutch-LWFW for me to install in a '02 996 C2 that is a daily driver with occasional DE track driving? :eek:
  17. maniac
    Silicone spray only. Thanks Loren! When is time to change my clutch, what do you recommend for daily driving and occasional DE track?. Usually when the clutch wears out the pedal will get very hard. My last Porsche had 135,000 miles including lots of track time - and it still did not need a clutch. Great!, so the clutch is more long lasting than I expected. I think I will follow your advice, put some silicone spray on the clutch pedal area, and forget about the light vibration on the back, probably that is normal, since my car is shifting right, just the noise on the pedal that probably will disappear. Thanks!! :renntech:

    Do you know, which is the grease that goes in the clutch power spring (helper spring)?
  20. maniac
    Hi Loren, I hear it strong below the car, almost below where I seat, that happens only when I use the clutch, like something metallic that needs grease. The clutch system is hydraulic - so there is nothing but fluid below where you sit. Do a search here for oiling or lubricating the clutch spring on the clutch pedal. I tried my car doing a strong sprint from Zero, and no problem at all, it shifted to all gears up & down. Driving slow I hear a dragging noise from the clutch pedal, every time when I push it and release it, also when I arrive to my home, I ask my Son to push the clutch and only when the pedal was in, I heard a noise from the clutch in the engine compartment. Might be the release bearing. (throwout bearing) Apparently the main source of noise is the Clutch power spring or helper spring that needs to be greased (located behind the clutch pedal), but yes the clutch is beginning to make some vibration, does not give any problem while shifting. Do you think that since is not grabbing or slipping, I will be able to run on my next DE, and just wait for the clutch to wear more for me to change it? Do you recommend any stage 2 or 3 clutch with or without HP Pressure plate for daily driving and occasional DE track driving?

    Hi, My 996 has now 47000 miles, and began making a scratch noise when I push & release the clutch :cursing: , it doesn't have any problem related to shifting, same easy shifting like before, just the noise. Please advice.

    Has anyone tried the 997 Carrera S swaybars on a 996 C2?, How does it behaves?, Which are the sizes? :eek:
  25. maniac
    Hi Doug, I think the ROW M030 is a good option. I also have '02 996 C2, I installed H&R springs and HD Bilstein shocks, plus a front lip spoiler from Xtrememotorcars for better aerodinamics, all of these improved the handling of my car, now is way more stable, and specially at high speed or in the track, my next steep will be to upgrade to the M030 sway bars.
