Default 951 clutch question

Does the stock clutch on the 951 have the same rubber center as the 944 n/a clutch or does it have a spring center?

I'm looking at a 951 with the original clutch (but under 90k miles), and though the clutch disk is most likely fine I know my the rubber center in my old '87 n/a disentigrated with under 80k miles, the rubber just went bad, so I'm hesitant to buy one with the original clutch if the 951 has the same rubber center...

Spring centered

My clutch went out after 113k miles but wasn't the greatest when i got it.

The clutch could be the least of your problems, take it in for a full inspection.

oh don't worry, I wouldn't buy an 18 year old p-car without a full inspection, fortunately I've had the advantage of shopping around once for a 944 so I know at least some of the pitfalls.

Thanks for the advice guys,
james
