Hello Guys,

As I wrote earlier, I have an issue with my clutch. It seems that previous owner didn't knew what the service mean.

I had car delivered to the workshop and he dismantled the clutch. It is very difficult to find the spare parts. Delivery from US to my country takes approximately 1 month. Parts in from Germany 1 week, but very expensive compared to US. so, I have two questions:

1. Has anyone used the SACHS clutch kit, which is on ebay for sale for 369 USD.

2. On the dismantled parts, i discovered the AUDI sign. Could that mean that spare parts from audi could fit Porsche? has anyone checked the compatibility issue???

I have tried to use search, but could not find anything related.

I sell Sachs clutch kit and have never had a complaint. If someone has a Sachs for $369, I'd grab it.

I sell them for around $512.00.

Not sure if this would work, but perhaps call/email these guys and see if they're willing to ship to your country?...

And what about compatability with other Brands/Cars? Has anyone tried it?

There's a seller on eBay.de with a Boxster Sachs clutch for 389 Euros. There's a very good chance you'll also need a new flywheel. The original type LUK dual mass flywheel costs US$450 here. Maybe you can find a seller in Germany who will give you a good price on the two together. Shipping from the US will be VERY expensive.
