Well apparently I need a new clutch. I have found a clutch kit for $321.01 The brand is Sachs. It comes with Clutch, Pressure Plate, and Throw Out Bearing.
Questions are: 1. Is this a good quality cluch kit? 2. Is this about what I should pay for it? 3. What other things should I purchase at the same time? Pilot Bearing? What else? Thank you for the replies. Christian |

Flywheel bolts for a 914/4 are NOT a replacement item. They're big, don't take a lot of torque, have serrations to prevent them from backing out, and they're not torque to yield design.
You may also need a flywheel. If yours can safely be resurfaced, you'll need to shim the release arm pivot. It's a good idea to replace the transmission input shaft seal while you're in there. The Cap'n |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) You don't want to have to remove to replace a small item later, so do it all the first time. The while you're in there syndrome. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thank you for the replies. Christian Cost is $279.45 for the three pieces, all Sachs which is original equipment, but you usually need much more than just those three pieces to properly replace a 914 clutch and that is where every one with the so called "good deal" falls short. |
