Hey,
I'm taking my car in for the pinion bearing. I was thinking of having the clutch done at the same time 87,000 miles now. What is the best clutch for street use. I'd like to have a softer effort.

Thanks

Mac - It's not that much of a "while your at it" advantage on these as it is on the 944's; You could let it go a bit longer unless you're already feeling it slip or the take up point is getting high.
You might consider replacing the hydraulics (master/slave and pressure hose). I did mine a couple years back and it wasn't that difficult.

Agree with John. If you decide to have the clutch replaced then just get a new one from Porsche. A properly installed OEM clutch should have much softer pedal action than your old one.

Thanks guys. Will go with the master/slave cylinders, and save the clutch for later.

Mac, if you hold off on the clutch hydraulics until I get back in town, I'd be glad to offer a hand, and use of my lift.

That would be great! I always appreciate learning more about my car and saving money in the process. Better to spend the labor money on barbecued steaks and good beers.

Thanks!

I just had a Spec Stage 1 clutch put in and its waay stiff.

My clutch pedal is insanely heavy. I haven't installed it yet, but I wanted to go lighter so I got a 2500 lb. pressure plate clutch kit through Pete at RS Barn. The PP is made by AP.

The Sachs PP that comes with the OEM 968 clutch kits now is a 3100 lb. 964 unit. The original 2500 lb. Sachs 968 PP was discontinued. The 964 PP works, but it creates a heavier pedal than what 968s originally came with.

Will report on the clutch feel once I get the new parts in there.

You can get the original pressure plate, but only through the dealer. No better/softer pedal than stock Love it.
