So as i have both engine and gearbox out, and i suspect a leak on the clutch accumulator i've decided to go for a gt2 conversion.

Im really a fan of using OEM parts, and have read several threads around this topic on this forum.
But i have yet not concluded wether i should bring the gearbox to a machineshop and machine down the face where the slave sylinder goes, or just extend the rod.

Is there any rod that are longer available?
If i decide to machine down the gearbox how many millimetres/inches do i remove?

 

theres no need to machine the housing at all. drill the 2 stud holes tap them and the 3/4" in the center. mount the slave . on the inside of the bellhousing a small amount of clearancing is needed. a simple dremel and bit does the job. less than 2mm is removed. not worth sending it out

 

This ^^ Engagement will be perfect if you use the correct factory parts.

 

According to this thread there are some issues:

But im not sure if that is correct, as the gt2 housing (pictured further down in that thread) clearly is machined way more.

 

no need to lengthen the shaft or machine the bellhousing. it fits fine as it comes with all stock parts. the inside of the bellhousing needs just minor trimming with the fork. install it and swing it back and forth and see were it touches. dremel it and your good

 

Despite the fact that I have not yet done this conversion on a 996tt, I will say it was someone being overly cautious. I have more than enough experience with hydraulic clutches. They are not precise mechanisms (which is good). He goes from a minimum of 0.060" to a max of 1/8" difference. That is 1.5 to 3.0mm. There is more than enough tolerance in the slave cylinder to take up this slack. As long as you are within the operating ranges of both the master and the slave cylinders, the length of the pushrod should not have an effect on the point of release.

 

Ok thanks guys, ill og ahead and purchase the parts needed.
The fork is just standard 993 right? should be posible to source from a scrapper or any suggestions as to where to get those cheapest?
