I don't know. If you can't find an answer here, I'm sure someone on Renntech will know.

Loren

Yes they are the same.
Manual transmission 993 to manual transmission 996.
Tiptronic transmission 993 to Tiptronic transmission 996.

WTH is a clockspring? pics?

goes on the steering wheel I believe to cancel the blinkers when the wheel is rotated past the cogs... (I think)

It carries voltage/current to the airbag and steering wheel mounted switches (horn, shift controls...etc) through the rotating axis. It used to be easy when it was just a horn, then they had just a set of spring loaded contacts touching a contact ring.

I don't think so.
If you look in PET they are the same part number.

Perhaps you have a Tiptronic clock spring and are trying to put it on a manual transmission steering wheel?

Loren, I want to install the 993 steering wheel in a 944 turbo 1988 lol

yea part number are the same, but i heard the wires are shorter with the 996 version....

Loren

I don't see how they could be different - they are the same part number.

There are two clock springs for the 993/996 series steering wheels. One for Tiptronic steering wheel and one for the standard steering wheel.
Perhaps one of those is shorter?
