997.1 GT3 Changing clutch - what else to do
Hey there,
I have a 2007 GT3 997.1 with PCCBs . Had it for 7 years, now at 55k miles, and the clutch is slipping. This is about average life expectancy for heavy Los Angeles traffic as per the dealer.
I do some high speed track several times a year, and autocross 4-5x/year as well
Any suggestions on what else should be done while clutch is being redone? I've bought steel brake lines, and am going to check out the brake pads myself. I've read not great things about going to single mass flywheel - do others disagree?
Already blew my coolant line into the engine a few years ago.
Thanks in advance.

So the lines have been pinned/welded? If not, it's time to do it now.
I would also have them check out the breakaway force of the diff. Mine had degraded to an open configuration, and I had 38k mileage (all street miles). It was rebuilt while the engine was out.
Is Sharkwerks near you? I'd have them do it rather than a dealership...
