What This Product Does

The snap ring provides axial retention within the driveshaft flange assembly. Its role is to locate the retained component in its intended position; it does not perform the sealing function of the adjacent shaft oil seal.

Functions

• Retains the driveshaft flange component against axial movement.
• Provides the specified retaining hardware for applicable gearbox repairs.

Technical Details

• Manufacturer: Porsche; part number: 9P1311152.
• Component: driveshaft flange snap ring, also described as a retaining ring or circlip.
• Specified dimensions: D36x2,6 (D36x2.6mm).
• Each supplied diagram records an assembly requirement of two rings; this does not indicate pack quantity.
  
  

Symptoms of Fault

Flange looseness, clunking as drive is taken up, vibration under load or oil seepage around the flange warrant inspection of the complete assembly. These symptoms do not establish that the snap ring is faulty: seals, splines, joints and mountings may also require assessment.

Why Replacement Matters

A damaged or distorted retaining ring should not be relied upon to locate the flange correctly. During flange or gearbox work, assess the ring, its seating groove and adjacent components, then follow the applicable Porsche installation procedure. Replacing this ring alone will not rectify a worn flange, damaged groove or leaking oil seal.

FAQs

Is this the complete driveshaft flange?
No. Part 9P1311152 identifies the snap ring only.

Is it restricted to PDK transmissions?
The product is specified for PDK flange applications, but the supplied diagrams also list selected manual gearboxes. Match the part number to the exact transmission before fitting.

Should the flange seal also be checked?
Yes. Inspect the surrounding seal and flange surfaces during the repair, particularly where oil leakage is present.

Diagram Ref No 16

What This Product Does

This retaining ring locates the flange assembly axially, limiting movement along the shaft. It is retaining hardware rather than an oil seal, and should not be confused with the complete flange.

Functions

• Restrains axial displacement of the retained flange component.
• Supplies replacement retaining hardware during applicable transmission repairs.

Technical Details

• Brand: OE Match; Porsche reference: 9P1311152.
• Snap ring specification: D36x2,6, also recorded as D36x2.6mm.
• Assembly quantity: two rings in each supplied diagram; individual sale quantity is one.
  
  

Symptoms of Fault

Movement at the flange, take-up knocks, load-related vibration or nearby lubricant leakage justify an assembly inspection, not an automatic ring diagnosis. Check joints, mounts, flange splines and seals before attributing these symptoms to retaining hardware.

Why Replacement Matters

Renew a retaining ring if inspection reveals deformation or damage that prevents correct seating. Examine its groove and neighbouring components during dismantling, and use the installation method specified for the transmission. A replacement ring cannot compensate for groove damage, flange wear or a defective seal.

FAQs

• Does the flange come with this ring?
  No. The component identified by 9P1311152 is the retaining ring, not a flange assembly.
• Can it fit a manual gearbox?
  Selected manual applications appear in the supplied diagrams alongside PDK applications. Verify the transmission code and reference before installation.
• How many should I order?
  Sold each - 2 required per car. Confirm how many are needed for the planned repair.
• Will fitting it stop an oil leak?
  The ring provides retention, not sealing. Investigate the leak source and examine the adjacent oil seal and flange surfaces.

This original Porsche component forms part of the transmission output assembly, providing the connection through which rotational power is transferred from the gearbox to the driveshaft and ultimately the driven wheels.

Designed for selected manual and PDK transmissions, it is a direct replacement for a damaged or worn original flange.

What Does It Do?

The driveshaft flange connects the gearbox output to the driveshaft, allowing engine power to be transmitted to the wheels.

As the gearbox delivers rotational force, the flange provides a secure mechanical connection while maintaining the correct positioning of the driveshaft coupling.

It is an essential part of the drivetrain, particularly when transferring power during acceleration and changes in engine load.

Why Is It Important?

The driveshaft flange must withstand repeated changes in torque while maintaining a secure connection between the gearbox and driveshaft.

A worn or damaged flange can contribute to:

• Clunking noises when accelerating or changing load
• Excessive drivetrain vibration
• Movement or looseness at the driveshaft connection
• Damage to associated coupling components
• Increased wear around the gearbox output assembly

These symptoms can also result from worn driveshaft joints, mountings or other transmission components and should be properly diagnosed.

Why Do Driveshaft Flanges Fail?

Driveshaft flanges are designed for long service life but may deteriorate through wear, excessive mechanical loads or damage during repairs.

Possible causes include:

• Wear around the driveshaft mounting points
• Damage to the flange splines or mating surfaces
• Repeated shock loading through the drivetrain
• Incorrect installation or damaged retaining hardware
• Corrosion or physical damage

When Should It Be Replaced?

Replacement is recommended if the flange shows damaged splines, cracks, distorted mounting points or excessive wear.

It should also be inspected when investigating drivetrain vibration, replacing driveshaft components or repairing the gearbox output assembly.

Installation Notes

Inspect the driveshaft coupling, gearbox output shaft, retaining components and surrounding seals before fitting.

Ensure the correct short flange is selected for the transmission. Use the specified retaining hardware and follow Porsche's tightening procedures.

Check the gearbox output shaft seal for leakage and replace any damaged associated components during reassembly.

Located at the transmission output, this replacement flange provides the mounting interface for the driveshaft, allowing power to pass from the gearbox to the rear wheels.

The OE Match version offers a cost-effective aftermarket solution for drivetrain repairs, helping restore a secure connection without the expense of a Genuine Porsche replacement.

What Does It Do?

The short driveshaft flange is fitted to the gearbox output and provides the connection point for the driveshaft assembly.

When engine power passes through the transmission and differential, the flange transfers rotational force to the driveshaft, which turns the driven wheel.

Its mounting surfaces and splined connection must remain in good condition to ensure smooth and consistent power delivery.

Why Is It Important?

The driveshaft flange is subjected to changing loads whenever the vehicle accelerates, decelerates or changes gear.

A secure, correctly fitted flange helps maintain drivetrain alignment and prevents excessive movement at the driveshaft connection.

A worn or damaged flange may contribute to:

• Knocking or clunking when taking up drive
• Vibration under acceleration
• Excessive play at the driveshaft mounting
• Looseness around the gearbox output connection
• Premature wear of adjoining drivetrain components

Similar symptoms can result from driveshaft joints, gearbox mountings or differential wear, so proper inspection is recommended.

Why Do Driveshaft Flanges Fail?

These components are designed to withstand considerable torque, but damage can develop through prolonged mechanical loading or incorrect installation.

Possible causes include:

• Wear to the internal splines
• Damage to driveshaft bolt holes or mounting faces
• Repeated shock loads from aggressive driving
• Loose or incorrectly tightened fasteners
• Corrosion or damage during gearbox repairs

When Should It Be Replaced?

Replace the driveshaft flange if inspection reveals excessive spline wear, cracking, damaged mounting points or distortion.

It may also require replacement following a driveshaft failure or when the flange cannot be securely refitted during transmission repairs.

Any unusual drivetrain noise or vibration should be investigated before ordering replacement components.

Why Choose OE Match?

OE Match provides aftermarket replacement parts designed for Porsche maintenance and repair applications.

This short driveshaft flange is offered as an alternative to the original Porsche component, allowing owners and workshops to replace worn transmission hardware while retaining the intended gearbox and driveshaft connection arrangement.

Installation Notes

Confirm that the replacement is the correct short flange for the vehicle's transmission.

Inspect the gearbox output splines, shaft seal, retaining ring and driveshaft mounting hardware before installation.

Replace damaged fasteners or seals where necessary and follow Porsche's specified assembly and tightening procedures.

Certain gearbox applications require specific associated hardware, so refer to the appropriate Porsche parts diagram before fitting.
