Cheers. Given what I know about Fearnsport I trust what they're saying over any OPC, my only concern is that if I sell my car and some evil non-standard part is discovered I could end up paying again to have it replaced - not convinced they'd ever notice though.


Matt has priced up the standard clutch for me and it's a bit cheaper, given that my car has an easy life with no track days and that this clutch has lasted 40k I'm probably going to go with the stock option. I don't doubt that the 890Nm is better but probably won't make much difference for my use of the car.

My clutch was slipping from new at peak torque in high gear and I remember speaking to others who had the same. The standard 997GT2/RS clutch is not up to the 700 odd NM in high gear on a cold day. I would suspect your 40K miler has maybe had a change at some point.
I would be careful exactly which "890NM" package or any other package you are looking at, some people have "890" clutches fitted usually with LWFWs and experience lots of nasty noise.
It would be a shocker if you paid for a spanking new stock clutch and it started slipping so If I were you I would go for a slightly uprated clutch, one rated at ~750NM.
You need to find an expert with experience who has actually done the exact set up so you can be sure of what you are ending up with.

I have "890NM" clutches on my 993 and my 997 and whilst the PPs may be the same the discs are different, the 3 uses a non sprung design whereas the newer 7 uses the GT3RS 4.0 sprung disc...... I would say the 3 is harder to use than stock by the 7 is pretty similar.

Thanks for the advice, car is sat in the garage not being used much, I'll get it booked in soon.

I bought the car in 2012 with 14000 miles on it, I'd be surprised if the clutch was replaced before that, it's got a modest over-rev profile so I'd be genuinely surprised if this is the second clutch.

I've not noticed it slipping at all in the 26000 miles I've put on it, and I try to drive it enthusiastically every time it's used, it's not an easy car to go slow in!

Was at JZM a few years ago discussing a 7 GT2 they had for sale. JZM mentioned the stock GT2 clutch not up to scratch and they had replaced it with a 890nm. In the car I went to see the stock clutch slipping caused a RR 5 when it slipped.

Strange that, why would Porsche spec a clutch that isn't up to it, I've not really noticed any issues with mine until now, could it be that some of these cars have been re-mapped or tweaked?

The few times it's slipped it's been in 4th under full boost at low rpm, I didn't notice the revs build very high, just a lack of acceleration and a scraping sound and I was straight off the power - hopefully not logged any over-revs, I'll get that checked when it's done.

If you want to stick with OEM parts just stick a GT2 RS clutch in. Defo drop the GT2 part - I'm surprised Porsche themselves haven't superseded it with the clutch from the RS as there is defo an issue with the stock GT2 clutch especially when the car is not warmed up.
