Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.
Discussions that suspect a cause
1
0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suspected cause
The turbo, the GT3, the GT2 and probably the 993 which are derivative of the GT1 racing block are 9 bolt and thus take the different flywheel.
Leading evidence: '993' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is '993' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Use gt3 single mass flywheel' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
Might be able to use the GT3 single mass flywheel on earlier models.(9 bolts)

Suggestion
These guys got the wrong one from Fidanza...seems they dont make one for a 3.4L.....So its odd if all 996's use the same flywheel....but the lightweight ones from Fidanza dont fit a 3.4L....

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.

I was looking into lightweight flywheels. Fidanza is available for ~400, AASCO is around ~800... Fidanza only lists 02+ applications. The question is, if the 99-01 flywheels are different why is the OEM part the same? Would a 02+ Fidanza fit a 00 996?
Why is the OEM flywheel part the same for 99-05? How does it bolt up to both types of engines?

Also, Aasco lists the same flywheel for 99-04....

Maybe you should try GMG....they make a flywheel and clutch combo thats lighter and they claim NO chatter like the other lightweight flywheels.....
http://www.gmgracing.com/porsche_drivetrain.shtml
they list different flywheels for teh 3.4L and 3.6L as ther ARE different and are not compatible. One bolts with 8 bolts and one bolts with 9 bolts.
The 3.4 and 3.6 have the same number of flywheel bolts (8) and is the same part (996.114.012.03) it is only the GT3 motors that use a different number of flywheel bolts (9) and a different flywheel (996.114.012.50, dual mass unit, the single mass unit is a 964 part).
Didnt someone here order a lightweight from Fidanza and it was the wrong one?

The 3.6L one from Fidanza is for a turbo, not the M96 motor. This is something Fidanza doesn't advertise. According to the Porsche PET the flywheels are the same for MY99-04.
Hope this helps.

^ 300zxtt...the M96 motors (3.4L, 3.6L in the carrera series) are all 8 bolt flywheels. bottomline.
The turbo, the GT3, the GT2 and probably the 993 which are derivative of the GT1 racing block are 9 bolt and thus take the different flywheel.
i'm assuming many companies (especially import ones like fidanza) just goof up on advertising because they think the 911 turbo is just a 996 with some uber made tyte greddy turbo kit slapped on y0 and havn't done the adequate research into the model range
