Clutch Replacement parts
As the clutch gets harder and harder (and once I´ve looked at the cable) I am planning on getting the parts for a clutch replacement.
My car is a 3.2 Carrera Turbolook from 1986.
I am looking to replace the parts that supossedly come on Porsche P/N 915 116 911 00, and include the pressure plate, disc, release bearing and spring washer with snap ring.
My question is: When engine is out and clutch is apart, should I replace some other clutch part that is not mentioned on that kit?
Thanks a lot!
Carlos

Greetings Carlos,
You have a great factory car!!! As I recall, everything is turbo, except the motor. If "harder and harder" means harder to depress, perhaps it's "only" your helper spring and/or cable. Does your clutch slip and grab distance is at its' limit from floor? How many miles on the clutch, etc. If yes,, you need a new clutch, then it has been my experience that so many parts are "sytem connected" and usually the labor is much more than the part cost. And it becomes "while your there process."
Considering that your 911 is 18 years old and parts start to wear and dry out. It is not a clutch part, but yes, remove the flywheel and replace the front main seal. This then also requires new flywheel bolts, I believe. Also check your flywheel for wear that may require resurfacing. Last Fall, I went through this with my 84 Carrera. Last clutch job (about 9 years ago) it wasn't done and the car "always leaked a little", but alot more in the cold winters after sitting. Last summer the leaks turned a deluge of oil, requiring me to pay to drop the engine and tranny to replace the front seal. At which time I also replaced the clutch and put in a lightened flywheel. Also replace the oil pressure seal on the front part of the motor. The FW bolts, front main seal and oil pressure seal are inexpensive. You may also want to consider the tranny and motor mounts. The rubber in mine dried out and I kept breaking oil tensioner return lines, despite upgrades....the factory did them on your 911
Check your copper tranny/motor ground strap for corrosion. A friend in our PCA Region has a triple black factory 1984 Turbo Look Coupe with the state license plate:
911 C930. I always liked that one.
Edit: While I was typing (very slowly) yelcab1 had some suggestions. I do not disagree with any of them, and most I included in my dissertation. Pedals can be be rebulit anytime though.
regards,
Steve
