Did you run into any issues or was this as simple as just ordering the 987 5 speed set instead of the 986 set?

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just want to give my feedback to the group on the 987 Clutch I installed in my 986. One word - AWESOME! I highly recommend the upgrade if you plan to install a new clutch. I installed a new flywheel along with a 987 Clutch Disc and Pressure Plate. Anyone else do this? And do you like it?

POST 2Original post

I'm thinking about doing this swap since I believe my clutch has failed and am going to have to pull the tranny anyway to isolate the problem. Did you run into any issues or was this as simple as just ordering the 987 5 speed set instead of the 986 set?

POST 3Original post

How is it better/different?

Do you remember the part #s you ordered? I just received a 987 kit and it just looks all wrong...

POST 5Original post

Looks like a 6-speed disc, count the input shaft splines.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
