BBi Autosport Porsche 996 & 997 Turbo Clutch Slave Cylinder Conversion Upgrade Kit







Always striving for innovation, BBi Autosport is proud to present highly acclaimed Clutch Slave Cylinder Conversion Kit for the Porsche 996 and 997 Turbo. After successfully tested on both the streets and tracks for over a year, the Clutch Slave Cylinder Conversion is finally in stock and ready to ship.

The factory power-assisted clutch system has always been the Achilles heel for the Porsche 997 Turbo. Utilizing the power steering system to help reduce the force needed to depress the clutch pedal, it is a flawed design that delivers a mushy pedal feel with poor feedback, and is highly prone to failure. Our system addresses both of those issues by eliminating the problematic factory power-assist system for improved reliability and pedal feedback. Unlike other kits, our system is designed be used with OEM clutch master cylinder, hose, and spring pack. This eliminates the need for additional parts, making our kit a complete plug and play solution.

The other kits on the market simply adapts factory 996 GT2 parts with aftermarket brackets and caps off the power steering pump with plugs. Our kit is our very own proprietary design and does not plug the power steering pump because the plugs can fail. Instead, the power steering fluid is routed through the unit to simulate the factory system. With the failure of the factory system inevitable, this is a must upgrade for the 996 and 997 Turbo to achieve the excellent pedal feedback and reliability similar to that of the Porsche 997 GT2 and GT3 without compromising drivability.

Features
  • Eliminates the problematic OEM power-assisted clutch slave cylinder for improved reliability
  • Significantly improves the clutch feel and engagement
  • Similar feel to the factory 996 GT2 conversion kit for excellent drivability
  • Proprietary plug and play design
  • Retains clutch master cylinder, hose, and spring pack
  • Requires less installation time than other slave cylinder conversion kits
  • Does not adversely affect clutch life
  • Precision CNC machined and hard anodized aluminum construction
  • Hard anodized 7075 aluminum piston
  • Designed for Porsche 996 and 997 Turbo

Does the tranny have to be completed dropped or will partial drop do? Is it possible to replace while tranny is in place?

BBi says no on the drop - and in retrospect - OEM slave doesn't require a drop either... but maybe they're wearing Ant Man costumes for Halloween

Just wanted to clarify the definition of "dropping" the transmission. You do have to lower but not completely remove the gearbox.

Porsche 997.1 Turbo Sachs 2.5 Clutch, Aasco Flywheel, and BBi Slave Cylinder Install



Maintenance time is always a good opportunity for upgrades. With 75,000 miles, the clutch slave cylinder is failing and the original clutch is long overdue for replacement as it slips under light throttle. Instead of the factory one, it's getting the lightweight Sachs Performance & Aasco flywheel clutch combo to reduce rotating mass and our BBi Clutch Slave Cylinder for an improved feel.






Complete Package includes:
  • BBi Clutch Slave Kit
  • Aasco Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel
  • Pre-installed Sealed Pilot Bearing, Thrust Plate & Flywheel / Clutch Mounting Hardware
  • Sachs Race Engineering Sport Pressure Plate & Torsion Sprung Hub Organic Disc
  • Sachs Release Bearing


To truly get the most out of these drivetrain upgrades, we replaced the failing factory clutch slave with our BBi conversion kit. New Clutch Assembly and Slave Cylinder installed
