I vintage race a 2.0L six single plug narrow body 914, and for years used a Patrick Motorsport “901” style flywheel and Centerforce 215mm clutch package. I would like to go to their 5.5” clutch and ultralight flywheel, and I understand all the advantages, but I don’t know if that’s offset by lurching around the paddock and in and out of my trailer, and shorter clutch life. Will I forget about that on the track?
Thanks for the advice, Gavin |

With slightly more modest power output than the example above , I should be good to go with 5.5” single.
To the gearbox I years ago added the PMS intermediate plate, side cover, and mainshaft bearing retainer, Tangerine’s shift linkage and console, and J West’s shifter. This after learning the expensive way that eventually the mainshaft starts to dance in the stock intermediate plate and then it all seizes up mid race. More durable now, but how I still envy friends who can shift fast. Don’t know what else can be done! Gavin |
