Upgrade your Porsche GT3 or RS with our Lightweight Flywheel Clutch Upgrade Kit designed for 996, 997, 997.2 GT3, RS, 4.0, and 964 models. This kit features a single mass (lightweight) flywheel that significantly enhances acceleration by reducing rotational mass, giving your engine a more responsive and spirited feel. This upgrade is a key factor in the performance edge of the GT3 RS over the standard GT3.
– Improved Acceleration: A single mass flywheel provides quicker acceleration by minimizing the inertia compared to the dual-mass flywheel. This leads to a more direct and responsive driving experience.
– Enhanced Engine Response: The engine feels less sluggish and more lively, especially during revving. This upgrade eliminates the lag often associated with dual-mass flywheels.
– Weight Reduction: The single mass flywheel weighs approximately 10 pounds, compared to the 28.5 pounds of the stock dual mass flywheel. This significant weight reduction contributes to better performance.
The dual-mass flywheel, which is common in stock models, consists of two flywheels connected by a coupling that allows for relative rotation. While this design helps in reducing gear rattle by cushioning power pulse variations, it also hampers engine acceleration and deceleration. The single-mass flywheel, in contrast, is a rigid disk that offers a more consistent and direct power transfer.

Important Note: Beware of cheaper kits available online. They often include inferior riveted pressure plates from the 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8, which are prone to failure. Our kits feature the superior bolted pressure plate from the GT3 RS 4.0, which is more reliable and exclusively available through Porsche dealers. This is the same setup we use in all 4.1L engine builds and installations for 996, 997, and 997.2 GT3 and RS models.
For 964 models, we recommend our ECU/Performance Tuning kit to prevent stalling off idle, ensuring optimal performance with the lightweight flywheel.
