Hope someone can help me out here - because sofar the Porsche dealership hasn't;

I have received a while back from Sunset Porsche the "Kinematic Clutch pedal lever upgrade" and I need someone to confirm that I have the right part here.

The Kinematic Clutch pedal lever has the old number stamped on the lever itself compared to the number on the sticker on the bag it came into.
The stamped number on the lever is 993 423 519 00
The number on the label on the bag is 993 423 519 03
Is it save to ignore this discrepancy.
I hate to go through the install to find out later there is no difference.

Looks like it may be wrong

Somebody just recently posted this or a very similar question about a discrepancy in the lever that he bought.

That was probably me - I did post the question before in someone's else's thread - but got no response.

The lever I have here is the black lever not the gold one.

Sunset did compare with another one they had in stock and had the same discrepancy. The parts guy did think that there was a slight modification made with the position of the teethed insert, Porsche used existing stock and made the required adjustment. This would explain the old stamped number on the lever and is repackaged with the 03 update.

In the end I'll probably go ahead and do the install.

Thanks

"According to the 993 factory shop manual, the solution to fix the clutch pedal not fully return problem is to replace the kinematic lever in the clutch assembly"

Thanks Kim........But on Black cars its 100hp isnt it.....

My cltch pedal already returns fully.....am I missing something here

No, it only seems to be an issue for 1995 and some 1996 models. Eventually they revised the lever about 4 times and finally got it right.

And plenty 1995 cars dont' have the problem. I compared the old & New parts back to back and couldnt' tell any difference whatsoever, so the change was pretty minor.

Jo Hans car is a '97.... ?

TheOtherEric

Hmm. I didn't know 1997+ cars still had the issue. Seems like it's typically been 1995 & 1996 cars with the issue, but I suppose that might be simply due to age...

Black993

My 95 certainly has the issue. I need to fix it.....still.
