Hi Folks ,
Im in the need of a new clutch for my steed...

I could do with an "uprated" version, with more "clamping" force..

Does anybody know where i can get one from.???? Please......
At a good price , of course....
 
Whenever I've heard talk of uprated clutches its always been with respect to the Turbo and I know that Andrew at Promax has a number of options.

I don't know if they will fit the S2, or if they are suitable. I do know (to the best of my knowledge) that my car is still on its original S2 clutch after 157k miles, so I think they are pretty good when standard.

They may well be good from standard BUT as you know im looking to NON standardise the car......[;)][;)][;)]

See ya on Sunday....Hopefully...
 
ahhhhhhhhhhh [;)]

I didn't realise you were going THAT non-standard. I just thought you were going stiff and light, I'd forgot about being blown too [:-]
 
If a Turbo clutch fits then you have loads of options. Check Lindsey Racing's website, I got my clutch from there (Spec lightweight 6 puck paddle) and they might have S2 versions as well as Turbo ones.
 
You might want to check via part numbers but I think the Turbo (both 220 and 250 BHP versions) and the S2 shared the same gearbox and clutch. I've also read that the limited edition 'Silver Rose' Turbo had a beefed up clutch which had thicker friction welded clutch plates instead of rivited ones (or something like that), so in theory if you can source a Silver Rose clutch it should fit into an S2 and be a bit more capable than the standard units.

 
SORRY - I might be mistaken. I've read that the 1987 and on 944S 16v shares the Turbo gearbox not the S2 (January's edition of Purely Porsche GT magazine). I got the info about the uprated clutch in the Silver Rose from my CD copies of the 944 workshop manual.

 
Thanks "so far" for the replies ...

Yes im going "stiff + light" but the BLOWN part may have to wait for a while.....
I just want to sort the clutch side out, just on the safe side....In case i do go BLOWN....

Please no puns ......[;)][;)][:D][:)]
 
The limited "Silver Rose" was just the beginning run of the Turbo S in '88. Having just done a clutch job on my black "silver rose", it had the spring centered disc, with the inner ring of 6 little springs. And the friction material has rivets to the disc.

If you are talking about the turbo "Cup" cars, they have a more heavy duty disc with only 4 outer springs (actually these springs have another spring inside them) and don't have the inner row of 6 little springs. But it is still riveted as that is what I put in.

All these cars have the same pressure plate.

Better check to see if these discs will fit the S2 because as I recall the S2 has a 220mm diameter disc while I know the turbos have a 240mm.


Oh, and be careful about getting a puck disc for a street car as they are much more on/off in engagement and will chatter. Can be a PITA to drive on a street car.

Mine is most definitely not for going down to the shops in, although Lindsey describe the clutch I bought as "streetable". We'll see, but I don't really expect it to be smooth, nor do I really care.

If you talked to Dave Lindsey, go over to Rennlist and do a thread search on his name and Spec clutches. Dave's idea of what is streetable is waaaaay different than most of the population. By ALOT.

Better like constant RPM matching when shifting. [:D]
