Default New clutch +new plugs +new coil = new car!

My car feels transformed. The clutch action is just like a new 997; smooth, linear and lighter! The pressure plate was deteriorating for awhile until it let go at Mosport last week...so you don't notice how bad it was until a new one is in. The car pulls better too; I guess with all my coils looking like that, it was only a matter of time before the misfires would have thrown a CEL.

So you've got a 2nd mortgage now to pay for the labour charges?

Is it normal to go through a 911 clutch in 7 years? Wow. I have no idea when my clutch was last replaced, but I know it was at least 2003 or earlier, and judging by its appearance when I changed it, much earlier. But it was still fine - the car shifted perfectly normally. It slipped once on me, which is why I figured I may as well change it when I had the engine out for the tranny rebuild.

With the power your pushing your clutch will last forever.
