Well, I borrowed a borescope and figured out that the throw out bearing came apart. I am NOT a happy camper. I figure that since I have to do all of the work of clutch job, I'd like to install a 968 bell housing to make future jobs much easier. Is this possible? Does anyone have a spare one? TIA

You will need a 968 torque tube as well, otherwise it won't work.

Yeah, I've given up on that. Wish there was a way to convert 944 BH's - I'd make a mint!

I know someone who has a 968 bell housing, torque tube etc and should be able to get you just about everything you will need.
PM me if you are interested. Its a nice thing to have. Make it a 3.5-4 hr clutch job.

Will be doing this setup on my Frankencar this winter. All parts are in hand

So all you need for the conversion is the 968 bellhousing and 968 torque tube? Not the 968 tranny? Sweet!

You also need a stand alone engine mgmt system.

I should have been more clear...

If I wanted to retain the stock drivetrain of my 951, but use the 968 bell housing, the only other part I would need is the 968 torque tube? I only want the benefit of easy access to the clutch that the 968 bell housing allows.

You were clear. The only way to use the 968 bell housing is to use the dual-mass flywheel and clutch setup. B/c the 968 uses a motronic, there is no way to put in the speed and reference sensors, so you have to use a stand alone. Sorry, it was me who wasn't clear.

Hmm, sounds like it's time for somebody to modify the 951 bellhousing to make it a two-piece like the 968's.

Or modify a 968 bell housing for 2 sensors may be easier.
