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 performed work without a confirmed outcome: 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.

I have been looking at low-mileage used kits and there are Cayman S parts that claim to be compatible with my 2000 base.

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

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My clutch is out and the disk is down to the rivets. I have been looking at low-mileage used kits and there are Cayman S parts that claim to be compatible with my 2000 base. Elsewhere I read that the disk splines were different between the base and the S. Can anyone tell me what I can and can't use? For those that want to tell me to buy new parts and be done with it... if I have to replace the flywheel, pressure plate and disk I am looking at about C$1200 minimum, for a $5,000 car. If I can get the same parts for les than $300 I will seriously consider it. Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

The only thing I can offer is a confirmation that yes, the disc is different between the S and the base (on 986) Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anyone here tried the EPS clutch disk? It is the only disk that I have found that costs less than the Porsche-taxed stock disk ($179) and it has a greater surface area for longer life. Since my pressure plate is salvageable I may go with the EPS. https://www.europeanpartssolution.com/power-friction-clutch-disc or from Vertex
