Not done a clutch yet in any of our 944s but pulled the transaxles that is about 30 minutes . The TT can’t be that bad is it? I find the timing belts are pretty straightforward the balance shaft belt needs to be looser than you expect. I find in general the 944s to be pretty easy to work on. We have an 85.5 and an 88 and both run nicely

Yes correct,most don't have the tension gauge but set my timing belt with the twist method which worked fine and only needed small tighten after a test drive ,the balance shaft belt was adjusted as described above . Clutch parts are rather expensive but I was super lucky as the rubber centre disk and plate were in good condition ,my throw out bearing was good but running dry (ish) so I repacked it ,however I did overhaul the slave cylinder however with new cups and boot. I was well pleased with the clutch but it only had 123,000 kms on it when I transplanted to a 2.7 motor . |
