Default GT3 RSR pressure plate ?

I have the parts not installed which includes the lwf and clutch disk but my question for those who have it on now how much heavier is the clutch when depressing? Regards. Mike

do you have the part number? if it's the same motorsport part as mine it's very light.

Darn I don't have it with me in hand it's at my mechanics shop. What's the part #on yours-my mechanic says the clutch would be really heavy : (. Regards. Mike

A little more pressure required but do not worry, you will be distracted by the noise of the flywheel:-)

It'll feel secure, with a good firm pedal. You'll notice the clutch will feel marginally heavier and the engagement window will be smaller. It's the right component to use. The tines on the clutch plate are standard size for the RSR/Cup plates. It's the bands that hold the friction surface to the clutch plate housing that make all the difference between regular and RSR. The bands do not affect pedal feel, they increase the integrity of the plate assembly.

Well thanks guys. I went to the shop and took the pressure plate part no and it's 88 3082 999 752(sachs race engineering). Please tell me it's the right one : (. My mechanic(friend) says it's going to be real heavy depressing clutch and wants to change the slave cylinder taken froma 993 c4s to off set the weight. I have to say the weight savings alone from the switch to lwf/pp/disk is like almost 30 lb savings. I'm so amazed how large/heavy the stock flywheel is-how on earth that thing rotates with so much mass. Regards. Mike PS-hey Austin I know TRG carries the Das sport bar-how much would that run for my GT3 and thanks for as always informative info?

The GT3 has the same clutch slave cylinder as the TT minus the power-assist. The 993 C4s (G64.20) uses the same slave cylinder as every other normally aspirated 993 and 964 (i.e useless). If anything I would try the slave cylinder from a 964T (if they are compatible), part #950-116-237-50.

964T part is the same size,(inside diameter and stroke) than the 993 types, they are different in the way the line mounts, btdt.,cheers, Sonny.
