I surely run the risk of having 13 other vendors offer the kit for 1 dollar less then my price by posting it up but I figured I'd save everyone the hassle of sending 13 pm's back and forth

They are an Original Equipment supplier to Porsche - Obviously the stock car doesn't come with a LWFW so it would still be considered 'after-market' but Porsche does use their products in other applications.
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.

After driving my 2000 996 C4 pretty aggressively since I bought it a couple of years ago, I am now in need of a new clutch.
Two questions:
1) What kind of expense is this? Is $2K-2.5K (non-dealer) close?
2) What other work (besides the RMS) should I have done while doing this?
Thanks,

Buy your clutch from Suncoast and have the RMS and IMS fixed only if leaking. If they are dry leave them alone. Also, decide now if you want to stay with the stock flywheel or go light weight.
Totally agree with the Suncoast comment (Mark is great) and IMS comment.
What are the pros/cons for a lightweight flywheel?
I was thinking about the Kevlar clutches, which hold better and supposedly even last longer if your break them in properly. Thoughts?
I would stick with stock unless you track the car on a regular basis - I agree with the RMS and IMS seal comments.
how many miles?
I have said it before, if I go in there I am putting in a new IMS bearing from Jake - no question about it....
Just passed 90,000 miles. Have tracked it once and would like to do so again but not really interested in a lightweight flywheel just to remove weight. Are there any other benefits of installing a lightweight flywheel? Also, I am not familiar with IMS bearing. If not too pricey it sounds like the right thing to do.
Thanks....

here is a fairly new thread on the IMS - plenty to read and some links inside of it. - IIRC its under $1k additional thru the guys listed in the write up who I think have the only option for us at this point...
Sure - Kit number 996 116 911 00

Anyone need this kit today I'll knock another $10 dollars off and still pick up shipping. If you'd like to add a LWFW I can take care of that as well. I surely run the risk of having 13 other vendors offer the kit for 1 dollar less then my price by posting it up but I figured I'd save everyone the hassle of sending 13 pm's back and forth
lol...
Let me know if I can help.
OE Supplier, AASCO Sport unit:
$949.00 - And again, I'll pick up shipping in the States. Includes the Pilot Bearing, Bolts and Torque Plate.
(It's Designed to work with the stock disc or spring hub sport disc, either one.)
They are an Original Equipment supplier to Porsche - Obviously the stock car doesn't come with a LWFW so it would still be considered 'after-market' but Porsche does use their products in other applications.
Are you asking who makes the stock, original flywheel that comes in the GT3RS or are you asking what options are there for an aftermarket even lighter weight application? - I believe Luk supplies the originals but I may be wrong. Alex at Sharkwerks could help more than myself for GT3RS applications.
-roadmap back to the original topic-
I just had the clutch replaced in my '99 C4 w/ 90K miles. Surprisingly the dealer was the best price of all, indies included. Just the clutch was about $1500 and it was $200 or so more for the RMS. The indie shops quoted me $2K+ and some of them insisted that the engine needed to come out in the C4 to change out the clutch, adding additional labor. It's not so
Where do you live... I'd like to move up there, open a shop and start plucking motors immediately
But seriously, book time on the job is 14.5 hrs for the C4, just as a reference point. Add .7 if you plan on doing the flywheel as well.
