Default RS clutch

Have any GT3 owners out there upgraded to the RS clutch? Any feedback before I decide to get it done?

4.0 clutch with LWFW, RS pulley and crank bolt are the proven way to go from any of the sponsors mentioned or try Eddie...

Cheers

Did the 4.0 LWFW. If you have a 2010 or later GT3, you already have the same pulley as the 4.0. Nice mod--livelier engine, drops about twenty-some pounds, drivetrain sounds more like a track/race car. If you are streeting most of the time you may not like that. I ride a motorcycle. No matter how much drivetrain noise I give it, it is still quiet to me!

Yes... and if you are going to upgrade to 4.0 the LWFW etc, you might as well do an LSD transplant at the same time...

of course the LWFW will chatter at "clutch out" idle like a bucket of bolts ... but thats part of the charm!

looks like you have a 3.6 2008gt3

if it happens to have very low miles, all you really need is the lwfw as the pressure plate and friction disk are the same parts and should be fine

if you have slightly higher mileage, replace the friction disk for sure

if you are 30k+ miles, then best to replace the pressure plate as well

if you are heavily, heavily tracking it then you can go with the 4.0 pressure plate but it is not required as the 3.6pp has not had the issues of the 3.8pp from the 2010-11RS
