The engine and transmission in my .1 GT3 are coming out for a RMS replacement.

At the same time, I am making the conversion from DMFW to LWFW for better on-track performance. I will also add the under drive crank pulley.

The Sharkwerks kit looks quite suitable, but are there other vendors I should consider?

Maybe the FVD kit?

Are there other upgrades I should be considering while the patient is open?

 

just go with the full RS4.0 kit.

me too

 

how is the 4.0 kit as far as pedal effort?

 

Here's another source for the 4.0 Clutch.

Pin your coolant lines if they're not already done. You could also install a Dundon Harmonic Dampener when you install your 4.0 clutch and LWFW, but it's seems to be less necessary on the 3.6 cars compared to the 3.8 cars. I've not heard of an issue on the 3.6 cars with a LWFW.

 

Agree. Factory 4.0 RS kit is excellent. Pedal seems fine to me. It’s oem kit.

 

Pedal feel? Similar to stock. not noticeably heavier in my experience.

 

Does anyone happen to have the part numbers needed for the 4.0 conversion kit? Or is it a full standard clutch/flywheel kit for a 4.0?

 

it's a kit

here is sharkwerks https://www.sharkwerks.com/transmiss...-0-964-PORT154

 

Thank you!

 

Use the factory 4.0 kit. Suncoast Porsche. Make sure you get the lightweight crank pulley. Pin the coolant lines, replace coolant fittings while engine out. Might as well do a water pump while it's out too

 

Whats the advantage over the Sharkwerks Kit? Price?

 

Sharkwerks $3395. https://www.sharkwerks.com/transmiss...-0-964-PORT154
Suncoast $2850.55. https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/PKGT340CON.html

My guess is if you assembled it yourself through Sunset, you could save even a bit more. But Suncoast pricing is pretty good.

 

looks like kermit is from out of the US. might be able to find better prices locally?
