Ok, my factory clutch finaly went, although very very trust worthy my stock clutch let loose with 4 laps to go and on Jon A's rear bumber on the Oval. And what is wild is the clutch was feeling awesome the whole day!!! the woes of racing LOL ..

 

So I want a good clutch at a really good price? So where do I go? Thanks guys

 

And Joe was right the SAT. PIR Race was allot of fun!!

Jason,

We have 944-spec relationships with:

AUTOBAHN PORSCHE PARTS in San Diego, 619) 444-2290

PARAGON PRODUCTS website

Maybe someone has one laying around. We just did a clutch on my silver 924S in my garage.

Apparently it's a sucker job. Most mechanics I spoke to (actually all) grimmiced with the thought of doing the clutch. By the book, it's a 10 hour job. So, be prepared to pay, sorry. Or get some buddies liquered and get them to turn some wrenches?

Jason,

I have a spring center one from paragon. I installed it new when I rebuilt my motor in Jan 2003. I have run it since then and it has virtually no wear. I got the entire kit. disc, pressure plate & all. I used the stock flywheel.

 

Anyway there are two ways to do a clutch.

 

Traditional says out the back. Pull the tranny out and get at from there.

 

OR...

 

... if you need other engine work then you can pull the motor do the engine work and do the clutch at the same time. If you are doing main bearings on the engine the clutch needs to come off anyway.

 

So... the traditional method is about 10 hrs and is not hard, just long. Tom Sollars just did his clutch not long ago and apparently Joe Stubblefield did one in 2-3 hrs. I guess working on these cars for years gives you a few tips to make jobs faster!
