I am not sure if any racing clutches are being offered on a production basis. If you want to spend the money you can fabricate some components to use a Tilton clutch.

You can check with the 928 vendors to see who has what, I know there was discussion in the past about offering a higher performance version. I would suggest confirming with an end user how the installation was, as well as the function.

As for me, I've just learned what a slave cyclinder is.
A stock duel disc setup will handle more power than your motor will ever produce unless you build a stroker or supercharge the hell out of it. Many racers run a stock duel disc setup with no issues. So tell your SCCA buddies the stock setup in your car is just fine (assuming it's working as intended). Most if not all 928 racers remove the single disc option offered after 1985 for the stock duel disc option you already have.

Wanted to revive this thread (if possible) as the "hibernation" season approaches for us midwestern 928 owners. Also known as time in dry dock to dink around under the car..

I do get grinding as I put the car into reverse. But I need to try Erik's suggestion of waiting 5 seconds at a stop light. I plan to wait to do this until a Mercedes owner is behind me.

Another symptom of my shifting is that if I leave the car in fourth gear and come to a stop, I occasionally find it impossible to get the car out of fourth gear. I have had to turn the car off, pull it out of gear with the engine off, and then restart the car. The ever-patient Chicago drivers love it when this process bleeds over into the green light. Any ideas what this sticky fourth gear might be caused by?

Thanks as always.
And how 'bout them Bears...!??!

Tim
