Just drove my "new to me" 73 500 miles down the coast from San Rafael to Los Angeles, this car has 19050 original miles, well now 19588. There sis no record of the clutch ever being well anything, this is most likely the 1973 clutch. Does that material go bad over time ? Dry out ? I believe this is the longest trip this car has been driven since 2016. Around San Simeon depressing the clutch produced an odd sound, not a squeal, not a grind ? Throw Out Bering ? Old Clutch material ? Any Thoughts ? As long a I didn't touch the clutch, the more I drove her the better she ran, like a Swiss Watch ! or German watch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If your clutch is making a weird noise, it might need to be replaced. If it really and truly is an original low mileage car it still has a rubber hub clutch, that's probably going south.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) ,never knew the original clutch disk was like this till a NOS one came up on Ebay a while back,kinda strange looking. My experience with this type used on the 944 was that they tend to fail more than not,I still have used 944 one that is worn out but the rubber centre shows no deflection and in perfect condition, apparently that's fairly rare. Would suggest the OP replace it with the current 6 spring type and check his thrust bearing. |
