Sachs 764 Pressure Plate & Sachs 098 Friction Disc paired with a DMFW is what is colloquially referred to as the Sachs 2.5 "kit". ( it's not an actual "kit" but it's a time honored upgrade for 550+ hp Porsche 996 TT.

I've run stock Sachs also with an unsprung GT2 disc. But my car at 550/575 whp likes this setup ^.

I'm on my 3rd clutch = 17+ years.

Pros: time honored upgrade, handles high HP

Vehicle: Porsche

Part number: 764, 098

Slip:

If your clutch has been slipping for a few months, it seems likely your flywheel may have some hot spots, and needs resurfaced at a minimum, in addition to a new clutch, pilot bushing, and throwout bearing.

If stock or mild performance gains, take the m20 flywheel and a stock m20 sachs clutch kit (bmw always sachs) and it will hold up very easily. They can hold way more torque than they are advertised for and last forever if not clutchkicked to hell.

Pros: holds easily, holds more torque, lasts long

Vehicle: BMW

Having sold many OEM Sachs and Luk clutch kits, I noticed pressure plate rivets are slightly taller on modified pressure plates from many major clutch tuning brands.

Pros: OEM quality, good clutch kits

Cons: rivets slightly taller

Be aware that the "newer" Sachs kits have been a different manufacturer than FCC which makes the OEM clutch. Newer Sachs kit seems to be an exedy clutch and pressure plate.

Cons: different manufacturer than OEM

I have done a couple of Mini clutches and I bought a new DMF and a stock clutch kit. I believe they were either Sachs or LUK clutch kits from FCPEuro.

Sorry to burst this bubble, that I was hoping to benefit from, but I ordered from Rock Auto, it arrived today, and the Sachs kit is no longer an FCC friction disk with caged springs. The springs are no longer caged like OEM. The pressure plate also, although it looks similar is also not marked as FCC, both are just marked with weird Sachs part numbers that don't co-relate with any searches that I have done, but they do match the numbers on the outside of the Sachs box it shipped in. Both bearings are still marked as Nachi and Japan. The Sachs box says made in Japan on the outside, but the design of the friction disc is different and there is no FCC branding on either the disk or the plate. I'm not sure how much I missed this deal by, but I was gutted to find out this is no longer the deal that it was. Returning it tomorrow.

Cons: springs not caged, no FCC branding, different design, not OEM equivalent
