@paopao Do you remember off hand what size reducer fitting I would need? I figure why not just use my new gt2 slave hose.

Looks like I used the MPL rod. I also had to source a bleeder screw. I think I grabbed one off an Audi part I had sitting around as I believe the 996 might have been the wrong size. The 993 slave sounds for parts sounds like a great idea.

I haven't bought one yet but the MPL slave needs M14x1.5 and the GT2 hose is M12x1.0.

I got my 993 slave in today; highly recommend this route.

FTE part number:


This is what you get after you remove the retaining ring from the slave/boot:


Take the boot off:


You'll use everything except the piston/rod:


This steel supporting ring comes with the MPL slave. Don't forget it before you install the spring cup:


Spring cup goes next:


Spring/washer/c clip goes on:


Lastly, boot and retaining ring. I just used an extended socket to push the ring on. Did it by hand on the ground, no press needed.

Thanks

Nice, that’s the same one I ordered from Fcp this morning. The other brand was more expensive and back ordered

So this setup did not work out for me.

The rods from the MPL and GT2 both seem the same length. The only way I could get the MPL slave to disengage the pressure plate is to remove the cup and spring then install the GT2 spring inside the cylinder.

The cup from the MPL kit pulls the rod into the slave about 10mms or so. The clutch pedal was on the floor and still not disengaging the pressure plate

Also, the hole I drilled for my GT2 conversion was too small for the boot to fit anyway.

Good to know. I installed with the GT2 spring on the inside and no issues still.

with the cup and boot? Maybe mine did not work the first time because I had the 993 spring on the outside.
Right now the gt2 spring is on the inside but without the MPL cup and boot.

I didn't use any 993 parts and when I bought the MPL it didn't come with any cup or boot. GT2 spring/boot/retainer in the MPL.

So the MPL will not work with a 997 GT3 transmission without getting the GT2 spring? The boot is now available from Design911.

997 gt3 slave is the same part number i believe

Interesting because my GT3 slave did not have a boot on it. Wonder if it had been changed and boot not replaced. I notice the above link does not have a boot either. Anyone know the thread for the bleeder port?

thanks

The 993 has the boot/spring externally. The GT2/GT3 has it internally behind the piston.

Using the 993 parts makes the rod extend 8mm shorter. I am going to swap back to the GT2 spring and remove the spring cup.

Thank you.

The only way to change out the slave cylinder is to drop the transmission? That's unfortunate. My pedal is very stiff.
