Have a 3 liter with 46s in 914…..Trying to decide if I want to install a lightened flywheel I have on the shelf. Basically a track car.
Looking for input from anyone who has made that change. Thanks , |

See, that stuff is available for 911s! Was it as I described in use? Those are usually stupid STRONG and last a long time. Often, they have a very MILD clutch pedal not significantly heavier than stock. Just difficult to modulate at low speed and at launch. |

Just difficult to modulate at low speed and at launch. very much like you described... literally an on/off switch especially difficult in the pits and low speeds perfectly fine on the track once rolling absolutely no way you could drive on/off of a trailer. I got tired of pushing into the trailer and had to buy a winch due to the clutch wear and life. they are pretty sensitive to over heating the design creates NO slip... the metal plates warp easily if the driver tries to slip the clutch (to get rolling etc.) brant |
