have engine out and separated from transmission, clutch worn enough to justify replacing. I am not racing and engine is stock, I am in the middle of a rustoration, so I don't need it done today! Wear was even, flywheel has a bit of a ridge so it will need to be dressed, I am trying to find someone local to do that. I replaced the clutch in my beemer a few years ago with a Sachs and it has been great, I have heard of other club members using Sachs, comments/recommendations much appreciated.

The stock clutch is the best, and probably the most economical, clutch for your purposes. Go with a new one. Thirty years (+) tells me that a "rebuilt" clutch is an absolute waste of both your time and your money. The Cap'n

Any shop or auto parts store that deals with Worldpac (Metrix, in Canada) can get what you need. The Cap'n

I have very competetive prices on the clutch parts for the 4 cylinder engines on my store site. They are always in stock and ready to be shipped tomorrow if you want- just something to think about..

What is the best clutch for the 914 you ask..

Duh... It's the most expensive one.

Clutch Masters triple carbon fiber clutch with aluminum flywheel combo.

And it weighs 6.4 pounds complete.

You have to add a master and slave setup for the hydraulic TO bearing. But thats easy... Probably only 1100.00 for the hydraulics or so if you are connected.

You also get a free clutch masters decal with it to go in your car..!!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

3800.00 USD. wholesale (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

Total package price 4900.00 Plus install....!! Dude... Smoking deal..!!!!

Twystd1 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

Note to self: If I were a zillionaire.. I'd have one... Just to say I had one..
Bragging rights is important sometimes......

If you choose to go with the clutch/flywheel assembly in the picture, you'll need the sixer to go with it .......................... Make nice $10-15K clutch job, time you get done. The Cap'n

Checked out your site Jake and found many different options, will get one from you but am not sure which to get. Some say get a package with throwout bearing etc. Your expertise appreciated, keep in mind engine is stock with one of your engines getting swapped in hopefully next year. Will stock handle the extra power?
