in most (maybe all) gears when i get on it hard and it goes over 4K rpm (plus minus), something slips and the rpms zoom up without the car going any faster

i am assuming this is clutch related? - anyone know what causes this?

thx

993GT

yes, clutch worn or if modded, have exceeded the torque capacity

Edlebby

thx Rob

what is involved to fix it?

993GT

new clutch assembly (disc, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, hardware, etc) and likely a new flywheel

Any thoughts on the $ parts and labor for stock replacement by indie mechanic?

Jason @ Paragon Products

Basic clutch kit will come in under $1K

you shouldn't *have* to pay for more than 8 hrs of labor at an honest indy shop.

Edlebby

thanks on both counts!

Porsche "Book" time is 25 hrs (engine out). Most good indys can do it without removing the engine, but it's a bit fiddly to get right. Some will still charge "Book" time.
Make sure to use a shop you trust and more importantly, one that has experience doing 996TT clutches.

Thanks

How much cost of total repair? is it correct changing clutch require hard work and cost a lot of money ..

Jason @ Paragon Products

Changing a clutch is a lot of work and does cost money...how much you would want to ask the folks who will do the install. It is a big job hence the importance of using good stuff.

Is Replacing transmission with used transmission is better option or not

At my area prices is $6000 for used transmission ...

Oops, I had the wrong "Clutch" thread. Your Panamera is a different from the 996 Turbo. You may want to post in the Panamera section to get feedback from other owners.
