Hey guys I am useing a 3.0 911 engine for my /6 conversion. I am planning on useing the OEM flywheel with a conversion ring gear. Yesterday online I found a Sachs aluminum pressure plate ( used ) in good condition per the seller and within specs. The part number is 915 116 001 16. I am useing a 1974 901 tranny. So the question on the table is will this pressure plate work for my setup? And if it will work what throwout bearing would I use, a 914 or 911 style? So conversion guru's help me out please.

Stage 2 set up with their throw out bearing is what you want. FYI, Patrick buys there starter rings from them. |

I have already contacted Kennedy and received a quote on their stage II setup and it was reasonable. I only mentioned this used pressure plate because it was aluminum and more desireable than steel in terms of rotating mass. But lighter isn't any good if it won't fit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Thanks for the feeddback. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

QUOTE a 915 pressure plate will not work on a 901 sez who? I have a 915 RSR aluminum pressure plate between my 901 and 3.2. I did convert the 901 to be a pull type clutch. If you look at the bell housing of the transmission, right next to where the pivot for the "push" style fork is, there is a boss where the "pull" type pivot ball will go. You have to do a bit of creative fitting and reinforcing (read back up plate) but it can be done.. This set up has been on my car for over 6 years and works great |
