Clutch and flywheel kit for Porsche Boxster 986 3.2L, combining a matched clutch plate, pressure plate and flywheel from Sachs for 3.2-litre Boxster S models within the 986 range.
What This Product Does This kit renews the clutch and flywheel assembly so engine torque is correctly transferred to the gearbox, with components designed to work together as a complete set for the Boxster 986 3.2L.
Functions
- Transfers torque from the engine to the transmission via a matched clutch and flywheel set
- Provides a friction surface for the clutch plate and maintains alignment between components
- Allows controlled engagement and disengagement of drive for gear changes
- Helps manage driveline vibration and smooth take-up when moving off
- Supports consistent clutch operation by pairing compatible parts in a single kit
- Symptoms of Fault
- Clutch slip under acceleration or a rising bite point
- Judder or shudder when moving off in first gear
- Chirping, rumbling or whirring noises when the clutch pedal is operated
- Difficulty selecting gears or engaging gears smoothly
- Rattling or knocking from the bellhousing area, especially at idle
- Vibration through the driveline or pedal linked to flywheel wear
Why Replacement Matters
On ageing Boxster 986 3.2L models, clutch and flywheel wear is common due to mileage, heat and normal use. Replacing these parts together helps avoid mismatch between new and worn components and reduces the chance of having to remove the gearbox again to address related issues. Using a dedicated Sachs kit brings matched parts from a single supplier, supporting correct fitment and predictable operation once installed.

FAQs
- Q: Should I replace the flywheel at the same time as the clutch?
A: If inspection shows wear, heat spots or excessive play, especially on a dual-mass flywheel, it is often addressed during clutch work to avoid repeat labour. - Q: Do I need new bolts during installation?
A: Many clutch and flywheel bolts are torque-to-yield; follow Porsche and Sachs guidance and replace any specified one-time-use fixings. - Q: What else should be checked while the gearbox is out?
A: Common additional checks include the release bearing and guide tube, clutch fork and pivot, and the rear main seal so potential leaks or wear points are dealt with at the same time.
