Hi Guys,

I am going to be replacing my clutch cable and helper spring next weekend on my 1985 930. I don't have access to the car until then, but am worried I have the wrong "omega" AKA helper spring.


From my reading, it appears that the spring should look like this.



Here is a pic of the spring I was shipped. It does not have a hole in it for the shaft. Instead, both ends have 90 degree bends, with one side having 3 "leafs". It is part number 93011606409.

Anyone have any thoughts? I swear last time I was under the car, it had a hole in it.

 

That's the right spring for a turbo.

 

Thanks - I hope it is. I just was on pelicanparts as well, and they show the diagram with one for a 930 with a hole in it...

The one with the hole is for a 915 gearbox.

 

You got the right one:

 

Yep, that's the correct one alright. I just replaced mine and it's exactly the same as the one pictured.

Cheers,

Jitters

 

Question:

Is this an add-on (clutch helper)?
Or is it stock item?
Why would one change it?

 

Stock item on my 87 (not the one from JGMachine)

 

My clutch petal is sticking to the floor sometimes. I beleive it is a combination of a bad cable and a worn spring. It may just be the cable, but since I am ripping it out I am going to replace both.

 

The cable is easy...and it's only about $49. I just ordered and installed one...but make sure you get the one that has the bend in it that takes the cable over the top....look how your cable is routed. I bought one that didn't have enough bend in it and although it fit, I had to route it to the side and it doesn't fit quite as well. The order sheet took the year and make of the car, but I should have gone by the Porsche PET number. I think I got an aftermarket version.

 

make sure you didnt get the spring on upside down. first time i had mine apart i put it back in upside down and the clutch pedal did exactly that.
