Flywheel lock?
#1

Where do I get the correct 968 flywheel lock for a manual transmission? Anyone have one to loan or sell? I need one for doing my belts.

Got a picture of it? I see alot of 944 flywheel locks but haven't found the one specific to the 968's dual mass flywheel. Maybe if I know what it looks like I can tell the right from the wrong. I really would like to get my own since I will also need it for a clutch R&R in the not to distant future. Very generous offer BTW <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> If I haven't found one by the time I need it, I will be hitting you up! Man, what a great group we have here!

Pelicanparts lists a flywheel lock with a part # 000-721-920-61-OEM as fitting the 968 but they a) have no pic and <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/cool.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> do not specify manual or tip. They have it priced around $65 vs $35 for the 944 style.

I think the 968 tip version of the lock is the same as a 944 manual.

The 968 manual is different than a 944.

I forgot where I got mine, but I think it was $70 including shipping.

This is a link to a place that sells the actual Porsche tool. It

is slightly different than the aftermarket ones I have seen.

Yes indead it worked great out Flash. It was faster than a dilivery from the postman. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



And Smokiemon is right about the lock for the 968 tip is the same as a 944 manual.

The 968 manual is longer. I thought about an inch.

I ordered one from paragon 2 years ago. I waited weeks until they told me they are out of stock and looking for more...



Then I went to www.arnnworx.com and ordered one. I have ordered other tools from him and they are all good products. No affiliation just satisfied.

Arnnworxs no longer makes one for the 6 speed 968...only the auto/944 version.

If I could have the drawings of the 968 manual version I could machine one out and look what the total costs are to produce it a small scale.



Let me know how many are interessted in such a tool?

i'll do a comparison and get back to you - not a lot of time for the next week or two to make new drawings, but if it's just a length change, that is easy

They are still available here:

Part # 000-721-920-61 confirms its the 968 manual lock.



Why reinvent the wheel?

Here are some pics of the 968 flywheel lock. It's significantly different than the 944 flywheel lock. -Scott
