i think that's a highly viable option over either of the other two gt2 slave delete options. less expensive and less part/labor intensive as i understand the piece and its design/function.

i haven't myself tried it..so cant say with any certainty, but good call. i would do the same.

I have the gt2 slave delete. I like the feel of the pedal.

That BBI solution looks great! Im getting ready to do something about my failing accumulator, and this will be the ticket.

Since this requires dropping the transmission I assume it makes sense to do the clutch at the same time?....car has 50K miles.

"02996ttx50

i dunno. personal call, that would depend upon a look at the plates. which means opening it up, which isn't a requirement of the BBI piece at all. my clutch lasted over 100k miles on a tuned car. so ymmv, but the BBI part will install with a lot less effort than a clutch replacement! so unless you had some inkling/symptoms your clutch was on its way out? at 50k miles, i wouldn't mess with it, unless doing some serious power upgrades.

I almost forgot about the bbi piece. Wasn't there a thread about it? Has anyone had any experience with it? It's been out for a while. I wonder what the pedal effort is like with it?

"02996ttx50

it was described to me as a lighter, yet equally consistent rendition of a gt3 clutch, which i fully understand, can easily imagine, and believe sounds perfect.

back to "our" oem clutch and its capricious nature. as long as the slave and accumulator are in x'lnt working order ( whatever the f that means! lol ) then the clutch action is perfectly consistent and ( at least temporarily ) trouble free is my experience.

but if i again ever ( should say when? ) need a new slave?? I'm gonna go with that bbi piece? but for $140 though id still swap an accumulator before slave deleting. but that's just me. I'm very easy on my clutch(es).

I didn't like the feel of my clutch at first but with some use its fine= not as good as in some of my other cars though. I would go with the BBI as it reversible/ no drilling. And no after some thought the bracket GT2 set up is something Id pass on also= OEM or BBI.

"02996ttx50

makes sense. there are some mods that once completed, place the car firmly into territory for that ( for better or worse ) is "modded" territory, and for the purposes of resale will reflect that in terms of overall desirability. whether the gt2 slave delete makes the clutch more predictable, offers better feel and more consistent engagement point(s) etc, the fact it is less reversible than some other mods persists and might for some, be a factor.

i don't believe the bbi part would be in the same category in terms of "reversibility". ( a new word! )

gophaster

Same here, I'm sticking to the stock setup but I'd consider the bbi as it seems like it would be a great solution to the problem that I'm still fine with

I just changed the accumulator this morning, and will certainly look at the BBi option when the slave gives up the ghost. That is NOT a fun area to work in on your back... Next time I'm going to take it over the base auto hobby shop to use the lift or getting a scissor lift for the garage. Thank goodness I had a cheap wrench to fit to the job. I tried using the 27mm used with 944/968 belt jobs, and it didn't cut it. You need the ability to flip the wrench over to get the last bit of torque on the accumulator.

The price is high for one part, but after changing the accumulator, I'm thinking worth it.

BTW: bleeding the system is a royal pain in the derriere.

32krazy!

no need to drop the trans to replace either the slave or the accumulator

"02996ttx50

it's been a cpl years so memory is spotty, but isn't there a cpl inches that is needed or is that achieved by loosening the motor mounts a bit? i seem to recall having to loosen up, but not DROP the trans for the slave. the accumulator can be done lying under the car on stands. without any great pleasure, but it can be done lol.

since my last concurrent slave/toliet plunger swap, mine has been issue free for years! ( probably jinxed now.. )

I am liking the clutch better now that the accumulater has been replaced. Thank you for all of the input.

that bbi piece looks good, though it is MORE expensive than the other kits... ???

The clutch master on the gt2 is identical to the oem 996tt one. The oem used different fluid though , where the gt2 uses dot brake fluid.
But they have identical part numbers on the parts themselves.


The thing I really like about that bbi one is it doesnt plug the stock power steering lines.


when I did my accumulator I went to home depot. Bought a 27mm (and 21?) wrench. Came home, heated each it up, bent them and cut and grinded them down. voila. accumulator wrench.

thinking a bit more about that bbi kit... what happens if the slave fails? Although unlikely(it could) still happen.

You have to drop another $1200 on a replacement? compared to $100 for the one in the other kits.
