As could any non-porsche part installed in the drivetrain ... technically...

How long until you have no warranty??

It has to do with less momentum from the fly wheel to keep the engine cranked over. Every now and then my car would stall and it usually had to do with me disengaging the clutch when the RPM was below idle(around 600RPM), or when the RPM is decreasing rapidly and disengaging the clutch at to low of and RPM. Does this sound right? If so you'll eventually adjust to it.

I think I stalled once....

UMW clutch and lwfw too. I agree with everyone else....you get used to it and the lwfw is an improvement. Dont' forget, they sell one car with it standard: gt3rs...for a reason.

It transformed the car...way faster to rev.


Lightened the whole car too...

Yeah, everything you said. It is a lot of fun. Ive had it for probably a good 6 months now. The odd blip of the throttle in the parking lot will generally get the car close to stalling or will stall the car. I've ceased to do this as much, which is probably for the better.

Sometimes I think the AC has something to do with it as well.

Does a GT3RS have the same "problem" then?

I could see this making the difference. Thanks

Ard- I think ive got about 1.5 years left of CPO extended, then that's it. I guess maybe it is time for a flash soon huh?

Good idea.

Not a "problem"... more like a "characteristic."


If yours still stalls too often, it could be as simple as having your tuner raise the idle a tad. I have seen done by tuners when the LWFW is installed.

davman is infamous around these parts
Was wondering if anyone has had resale issues like potential buyers going elsewhere because of idle noise with LWFW?
