What do you guys like/not like for clutch/Flywheel? Going with a 2.7 the 901 Sideshift, and about to put down some $$$.
Likes? Dislikes? Horror stories?

I use a stock 2.0L /4 setup with the early 901 flywheel. No problems on 3 engines.

Slits beat me to it. It's a bolton. You'll need the flywheel, the shim, the pilot bearing, and a set of new bolts

What are you planning to do with the car? If it is a street and occasional auto-x driver then you are okay with stock internals. You might need a limited slip of some sort since a 2.7 will just burn a single drive wheel right off. If you are also driving less and auto-x/DE/time trial more then a re-gear so the top 3 gears are M-S-X which will put 2nd thru 5th closer together and make the car a lot more fun to drive and faster.

Sorry to re-up an old thread... getting ready to place an order...
Capn, Ron - do you stay with the 4 spring clutch disc or up it to the 911 6 spring disc?
Thanks!

I've never used the 4 spring disc. Used to be the 6 spring disc was cheaper, now it's 3 times as much. I haven't done a 914 clutch in about 10 years, BTW, so that caught me by surprise. The currently available 914 disc has 6 springs, and I suspect it's a bus disc, made in Brazil by Sachs. Your choice

They are all 6 spring now .... supposedly smoother on takeup. Both Sachs kits I bought were six spring. I forget the kit number, but for shits and giggles ask for the early 911 2.0L kit. I can look tomorrow.
None of them are cheap .... they're made for Porsche

I went with the lightened Patrick Motorsport flywheel with the centerforce P.Plate and clutch. (RS spec 2.7) It is a track day car (and AX once in a blue moon).
No problems so far, and I like how quick the 6 spins up.
