I have a Sachs Porsche Motorsport Clutch removed from my 996 Gt3 that was fitted by Parr for the prev owner.

Suggestion
Probably not relevant but if it is judder that is worrying you with your existing clutch (typically felt in reverse) rather than slip or high biting point then check the diff before replacing the clutch.

While I don't doubt you love your car's setup with the LWFW the LWFW still replaced the dual mass flywheel and that is not a good thing.

I swapped from dual mass the LWFW (also changed the pulley) and love it.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi,
You can upgrade the clutch and flywheel to RS specification.
A really good upgrade on the MK2 as it has electronic throttle flap so does not cut out when engine revs fall back to idle.
It is more expensive than just replacing your existing clutch and does add a fair amount of noise when stationary and at low speeds.

think I am needing a new one,whats the options? I am sure I have read about an rs upgrade?
cheers
If the engine is stock the stock/factory setup is good. Upgrades can bring with them extra pedal effort and noise and the possibility of a switch like engagement.
Furthermore, I am not a big fan of replacing the factory dual mass flywheel with a lightweight unit. The factory flywheel is not that heavy and it plays an important role in acting as a harmonic dampener.
I have a Sachs Porsche Motorsport Clutch removed from my 996 Gt3 that was fitted by Parr for the prev owner.
It's a 4 paddle bulletproof on/off switch, tricky in traffic, but easier with a non lightened flywheel.
If you are interested in it pm me for a full description , pics and ( low ) price

Mine judders and grumbles when I pull away from junctions and go round roundabouts at low speed in 2nd gear, mine had a new clutch last year so am assuming its my diff that's going to need looking at soon.
Interesting points here.
In my experience they all judder and make low speed knocking noises when turning / reversing...also if you have motorsport diff plates then this is likely to be more pronounced.
Interested in the comments regarding single mass flywheel. I was intending to upgrade to this the next time i need a clutch. I would have thought an attractive move for cars used enthusiastically. I find the 6RS spools up quicker as a result....however, there seem to be some cautionary comments here?

Isn't this a 997 issue which is detailed in rennlist thread?
I have the M030 clubsport clutch, lightweight pulley and LWFW kit on my mkii and love it.

Don't recall coming across a 997 thread on rennlist about this but there could one (or more likely more than one) on this subject there (and elsewhere).
While I don't doubt you love your car's setup with the LWFW the LWFW still replaced the dual mass flywheel and that is not a good thing.

Only from people wanting to reverse into their garage smoothly. Go LWFW, " you" will not regret it IMHO.

LWFW is factory on MKI clubsport and RS, why would this not be a good idea as retrofit mod?

I swapped from dual mass the LWFW (also changed the pulley) and love it. Throttle response is better and yes you do get a lot more gearbox chatter but only when the car is stationary, clutch out, idling. But I really like that. It suits the character of the car.
As mentioned above it was standard on the Mk1 996 GT3 and 996 RS. So no idea why it would be a "bad idea" to fit one.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
