bobaines...I've heard about the '89 C4 smf....apparently a good replacement the Andial one that is no longer in production..is the 89 flywheel new? What model of 964 are you putting it in? Phil

bobaines

It is a '94 C2, yes it is a new flywheel.

FeralComprehension

That seems like a good compromise. Are the flywheel (and corresponding no-rubber-center clutches) readily available?

bobaines...source? pelican?

bobaines

I think Pelican has them for about $450, we got mine through the dealer, I believe. Sometime the dealer can be cheaper.

FeralComprehension

IME Sunset usually beats Pelican on OE Porsche parts.

Thanks! Always nice to meet a webfoot from way back!

Goughary

Can an 89 flywheel be used in a later c4 as a drop in replacement with no further modification?

Dang Bob, now that tranny should be fun!!!

I found the reference to the '89 flywheel in Adrians Streather's book and asked my guys about it and so it goes. In the book it does not give step by step so best to check with your shop that would be doing the work.

Kaib, you sure have a nice project underway. Yes, the gear chart for the 6 speed puts a grin on my face while I wait for the car to be ready. It was a bone stock C2 so it has a few updates coming as well as the box.

Thx Bob...another option to check...cheers...Phil

1990-964

I had an RS LWF installed a few years back and while I did not find it a total transformation it is definitely an improvement. I am one of the lucky few that has no stalling issues without using any counter measures. It is otherwise completely stock.

Put in a LSD while you are in there.

1990.1994...heard the same thing about lwf add on relative improvement from Steve Weiner & Kai....about 35 percent there...add regearing of the tranny to get the you the rest of the way...about another 8k plus...depending on the gear mix..

mada1...got a stock lsd but understand they wear and there are better ones out there...I will need talk with my wrench on that one...thx!
