need help: does anybody know if the RS lwfw mod for the 2004 GT3 requires a different throw-out bearing than the stock bearing? I have gone thru 2 stock bearings in a short period of time; the first suffered a cracked bracket, the second is still in car but beginning to act up and i am about to pull motor to inspect/replace. This is with no clutch abuse of any sort. I don't want to use the same parts if there is a better set up for the car I have heard that the lwfw bearing has a different part number....? thanks for any suggestions

I had a bad bearing myself and i had it replaced but can't remember the part number, sorry.

That's it, I used the RS bearing.

^Vic those were the good old days.. *when you actually had a GT3..

I know! I miss her dearly. If only I can afford to have both. A lot of blood sweat and tears (and $$$) we went through.

Although I do enjoy my radical...

That part number is the pilot bearing for the input shaft into the back of the crankshaft. The throw out bearing for the LWF is 944 116 080 00. This is not the stock bearing that came with the dual mass flywheel setup.

^Aha so he wanted the release bearing? : )

In that case correct but latest PET shows 944 116 080 01.
And for the guide tube 950 116 813 30

Release and Throw Out Bearing are the same thing. Just as some people say wheel carrier, and others upright.

I think we have been using the street bearing, is there another?
