I had a Sachs 890NM clutch on my 996tt when I got it, but was advised by Sports & Classic (when they rebuilt the gearbox) to revert to standard, as those clutches drag and can cause gearbox issues. I always thought the GT2 already had an uprated unit as standard, but could well be wrong.
Std 996tt clutch was about £550 + VAT. No idea on fitting, because it was in with all the rest of the kit.

Great pictures all, J nice one for taking the car around the 'ring....
Good times
My clutch has just started slipping, anyone had there's done recently? Cost? Worth upgrading? She's lasted 39k miles so not bad.
A couple of GT2s are at Silverstone Auctions next month, I might pop over on the Friday for a look.
It was a real gentle lap, it was so dead when I arrived I thought it just had to be done. I could not imagine going flat out at the Ring unless I've done at 50 laps. The car felt good though, the grip and power is something you just can't experience on the road unless your taking huge risks.Good times

I might join you so I'll let you know.
Getting mine back next week, it's been for a stint at 9e. Not a crazy horsepower build I just wanted to have a couple of things looked at on suspension and tuning. Some complete fktard had been at tuning (tuning? hahahaha) it and all sorts of weird and wonderful things going on. So it's a had a custom tune by them, some suspension bits, geo, new rear tyres and a few other bits and pieces.
Yep, I'm on porridge for the rest of the year, but Ken reckons the car is transformed so I'm expecting an absolute beast back! It will be out until the salty roads return.

It will be night & day when you get it back! GT2 has K24 turbos as standard if I remember right? Prob looking around 540/550 Bhp with a map/exhaust etc.. Can't recommend Ken & his team highly enough, car has been bang on every time I have used them. I also have learned to like porridge & baked beans on toast....Yep, I'm on porridge for the rest of the year, but Ken reckons the car is transformed so I'm expecting an absolute beast back!

anyone after a 996 gt2?
Straight swap for a 6 Gt3? Check 'Consul' out being a broker ;-)Im just watching the prices of the 991 GT3 RS, as soon as they hit 180K, Im out.
Looking back through some photos from this year, Ive had a great time in the car, I think the best had to be the France Porsche owners Club event at Spa, weather was perfect, I was the only 996 GT2 there out of hundreds of cars which was a bit sad but overall the drive from London/Koln/Spa was magic.
