Which clutch?

[roger_mck]

I just had the clutch replaced on my 99 2.5 Boxster. The mechanic that did the work told me that he had ordered a 2.5 clutch (which was too small ) and had to return it in favor of the 2.7. Since the 2.7 clutch is a bit bigger this is great, but now I'm confused. Why would this car have the larger clutch? Is the an artifact of the cross over in 99 from 2.5 to 2.7? The car was manufactured in April 1999, Finland. I am not the original owner.

That does sound odd? The 2.7 didnt come out till 2000?

Yes, starting in 2000 the 2.5 became a 2.7 for the base model through a slight increase in crankshaft stroke. The 2.7 was evolved into a 3.2. Both using a new DME 7.2.
