Default Clutch Kit Reccomendations - 1985 944

Hi guys,

Ive been having some clutch problems. When you start from cold it seems to shift but after it heats up, it has issues shifting in and out of gears. I have replaced the slave and master and bled the lines multiple times. Ive ruled out those things. I think it might be the pressure plate. If it is while i have the tranny off and checking the plate i might as well replace the clutch. Do you all have any recommendations on a good OEM replacement?


Thanks,

Is there anything else that should be replaced while the clutch is being replaced ?

Have your flywheel resurface at a machine shop

A SACHS clutch came in the box marked LuK. it has everything you need to replace including the alignment tool.

My rear main seal was not leaking prior to replacing the clutch and I decided to replace it. Despite following all the procedures the new seal leaked, a little.

I now have a dripan in the driveway!
