The mechanism break is based on VIN. Likely you could use the older versions since you’re replacing everything, but don’t quote me on that.


DC Auto is one good source on used parts. There are some on here that part our cars, too.

Thanks Chris. Yeah, I've been looking at the catalog. My car has an earlier vin, and I was thinking the same thing about the older versions fitting since I need all the components. The only thing I'm unsure about is if the bolt patterns for the transmissions are the same, and if pushrod lengths/shape changed at all. Might just roll the dice on the 986 parts and give it a shot.

I want to get the issue with the motor sorted before buying any parts though. No point in getting the parts before that's working. I checked the fuses yesterday and that's not the problem. Going to check power at the switch and microswitches in the latch when I get some time.

Hello Donk IMHO, you would be better off if you can find the same year model as your 986 on a junk yard (or a wrecker that specializes on Porsche on used parts) and get all the hardware that you need, this way you can be 100% sure that everything will work (and fit) as intended. Good luck!
