We talked with the PO and while he had no issues with it before the car was totalled, he never needed to do any clutch work for the entirety of his ownership, and may be the original clutch from 68'. We also talked with my grandfathe'rs Porsche mechanic who thinks it's the throwout bearing. That all in mind we ended up buying the Sachs kit late last night. My goal at this point is reliability, plus the kit seems like a good deal and should give 10-15 years of good driving. When we take the old clutch apart I'll see whats all stuck together.
