Instead of tapping to remove residue with all the inherent risks that come with it. A brass brush from a gun cleaning kit jammed in a drill works a treat for applications like this. It will take 2x as long but no risks.

[@DasCayman]

That is a great tip! Thank you!

[@thomasschimmeyer8715]

@@DasCayman If you push the brush back in and then run the drill in reverse it backs the debris out of the threads.

Nice vid bud, enjoyed watching that. Makes me want to have one in my 997.1 C4S. So you recommended to use a sprung clutch with a LWFW? I use my car only for mountain carving

[@DasCayman]

You don't have to use a spring clutch, but if you can't heel toe rev match while braking very well then I'd suggest a spring clutch. There really is no downside to the spring clutch since the weight is only 2lb more than the stock unsprung clutch. I have an unsprung clutch in my spyder with a LWFW and only use that for mountain driving and it works great. I'll be uploading a review video of this setup after the weekend!

Here is a video review I did of my Spyder with the setup (in the meantime)... kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWXTln-Xo890rM0

@@DasCayman thank you, have a good one!

[@villaman4818]

Also..have you got an upgraded IMS ?

[@DasCayman]

No, this is the stock IMS, but the non-removable / non-serivcable since it is a 2008.

How is the skull doing?

[@IUnknownIDispatch]

Often times, moving to a LWFW, especially replacing a dual-mass system, can cause clutch chatter. Any clutch chatter with this application?

[@DasCayman]

@@IUnknownIDispatch you can definitely induce chatter if you’re lugging the engine at low RPM. Here is a video of what it sounds like at idle… kzbin.info/www/bejne/roSwn4WCgZWUeqs

[@connorshowell6763]

Is this the same process for the 987?

Hi Das....Me again bud. As mentioned, I'm in the process of arranging for a LWF + Clutch upgrade to be installed in my 981 Spyder. I came across this ....if you have any time free (when you're not razzing round driving like a demon) ...May I please get your view in this ? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZupqmCigLyfhdk It seems quite a reasonable assertion. Thank you in advance. Simon 👍 (Hope you're healing well mate)
