Question Does Porsche still offer the Turbo Cup clutch?

Not sure my mechanic will accept my own parts if I don't do the job myself...

Here's a pic of the Turbo Cup clutch disc from SACHS (unit on the left). Part number: 20.1861.944.433. Can this disc still be bought from Porsche? Disc on the right is a 930 unit (pic courtesy of Magown):



Here's the regular "944 Turbo S" SACHS version with the 6 small springs:



...and the pic of the Porsche "944 Turbo S" disc version from the FSMs (the unit on the right):

Luis, Paragon's site list a Sachs Sport clutch kit with a disc that WAS referred to as the Cup or HD. HTH.

Thanks!

I hope to buy the Cup clutch directly from Paragon or another Rennlist sponsor, but if my mech won't accept my own parts, I'm hoping at least this Cup clutch is available from the Porsche dealer, which I can refer them to here in Spain.

The Sport Kit works great in my car and I've had no issues in 5 yrs.

We have the Cup PP in the track car with an RSR disc, it chatters when you go to grid at DE but after that, who cares!

Luis, I had the turbo cup clutch installed at www.Weissach.com here in Vancouver. It is indeed the Turbo cup clutch with just the four big springs and not the "S" clutch with the 6 smaller ones.

I have heard that the 930S clutches are not as great as the 951cup clutches when used in 951s.
