Hi guys,

One for the more technical PHers. Which clutch would be best for my 996 turbo x50 tuned to 673bhp. Do you think the 964 RS would be okay or would you recommend something else.

Sachs should would fine
Would I notice any difference in the feel of the clutch. Don't want to fit anything that will make the car undrivable.

Sachs feels stock but if you go for lwfw you have to get used to it as its a bit grabby with a lwfw. What clutch were you running before? Even a new OEM clutch would not hold hard third, fourth, fifth gear runs even for one pull with 673 bhp lol!
I've got the duel mass fly wheel, If I go for the Sachs would you recommend I change the fly wheel?

Just been looking at reviews on the GT3RS 4.0 LWFW and some are saying that they don't last long and are prone to failures. Does anyone have experience with the above. Also I have read that the conversion creates additional rattle/noise from the transmission. Again advice very much appreciated.

Thanks for all the advice.

The Sachs 890 was fitted last thursday and I have driven it on track a couple of times through the week plus lots of b roads. The end result is that I am very pleased. I ended up not going for the lwfw as it is primarily used on b roads. I really cannot notice any difference in the feel of the clutch other than all the horses (673hp) are now getting to the wheels smile.

Thanks again
