Pull type clutch question…. Options

[Larmo63]

Do I need a special clutch/pressure plate for a pull type clutch system I'm assembling for my 911 conversion?

Will this work? The trans is a '70-71' I've been told. But, I'm not familiar with this stuff. Thanks for the help.

I would have used a 914 trans case*, 6 bolt '69 911 flywheel, standard 914/4 215mm pressure plate (PP) and disc.
Easy-peasy, semi cheap and done.

My second choice is using the stock 225mm flat flywheel and a Kennedy 228mm kit. The KEP kit comes with adaptor ring w/starter gear, a 228mm HD late VW bus PP disc and a TO bearing.
The big plus is if you up grade to a 3.0 you can still use this conversion kit.
But again I think you would need to use a 914 trans case*.


The pull clutch will be a pain to set up and as said it's expensive.
If you go this route I have a bearing that I pressed apart, inspected, cleaned and put back together with swepco grease. I'd sell it a lot cheaper than new.
I also have a PP, starter gear ring and stock disc, but the PP is a 911S aluminum shoe and the plating is starting to delaminate at the edges. Likely still OK for a 2.0.
So I do have everything but the flywheel.
PM me if interested in any of this.

*If you are handy with modifying you can cut and weld a 914/4 TO bearing arm to work push style in your 911-901 case. This can be done as I did it on the 1971 911-901 trans in my T4 engined 1967 bug, that uses a 914/4 clutch assembly.

I have the 70-71 clutch setup in my 914/6 racecar. I've had it for years without much trouble, though I did snap a clutch fork bolt once a few years ago at the track. Probably because I have the heavier-springed later clutch in my car. I think the clutch cable is from a 72 911, if memory serves correctly, in case you decide to go that route. It fits perfectly for the 914 conversion.
