Owner reviews for clutch kit

Sachs 764 Pressure Plate & Sachs 098 Friction Disc paired with a DMFW is what is colloquially referred to as the Sachs 2.5 "kit". ( it's not an actual "kit" but it's a time honored upgrade for 550+ hp Porsche 996 TT.

I've run stock Sachs also with an unsprung GT2 disc. But my car at 550/575 whp likes this setup ^.

I'm on my 3rd clutch = 17+ years.

Transmission itself is great. Could be other things as mentioned here but common issue outside actuators/TCM would be the clutch in the bell housing. Recommend when accelerating from a stop to go heavier on the gas so it engages more hard. Could prob dive it like that for a few years but eventually will gunk up with enough dust inside that the actuators won’t be able to move the forks. Most shops will charge $3,500+ to replace. If you’re good with DIY you can prob do the job when the time comes yourself for about $750 for the Luk repset and dual clutch trans fluid.

The Valeo kit is a good one. I believe they are an OEM supplier.

Can vouch for the Valeo Kit just installed mine last month.

I have the Valeo hd kit on my 3.8 and it’s nice.

Never had a problem with them and the last kit I bought was only £60 (and was LUK).

Got a suggestion from one of the local service technicians, to go for SACHS brand clutch kit.

Also it’s an Exedy oem replacement kit. To be more specific, I know some travel is normal without the slave installed. The issue is that the fork and bearing don’t even make contact with the pressure plate until the slave is almost completely extended.

Clutch kit i used was FJK1005. Both will work for you. Only have about 10k miles on it, feels the same as stock.

I had bad luck with the luk kit, throw out bearing seized and I had to pull the trans back out a week later, I was disappointed as luk has was served me well in the past Went with an aisin kit from Lce and it works great
