Which clutch kit is correct?

Now that I have to replace my clutch, I'm looking at what is available

I found a couple of Sachs kits for my 04 986 S. The problem is, I don't know which one is correct!

The part numbers I found are:

3000 951 201
K7029001
98611691102
18014-05057243
W0133-1598018
52-40065 ZF

What is the correct one??
Will more than one work? If so, what is the difference between them?

I have found them from $325 to around $600

2 suggestions:
1.Check the Pelican site and call them.They are very helpful

2. Research how to check the DMF and test yourself. Many mechanics do not know how to do it correctly.If you fail to replace a worn DMF it may quickly become a quite different but serious issue.

Hello.

SACHS K7029001 is the same part as 98611691102 and the correct one for your 2004 S.

I replaced the dual mass flywheel on my Cayman and my Boxster when I did the clutch job. For the money I figured it was good insurance. I really didn't want to go back in there anytime soon.

You'll be amazed at how beautifully these clutches work when everything is brand new.

Good luck.

Ordered the K7029001 kit
Best price I found was $325 at Rock Auto and FCPeuro matched it

Pelican was $530! For the same kit
