note* car is a 3.0 930 with a 915 box with possible god knows lightened flywheel
Nice, im looking over previous owners invoice on the work carried out on engine, lots of work done but the shop has neglected to put on paper serial numbers, model types so forth Flywheel $661 clutch kit sport +20% clamp $868.18 (what is a 20% clamp??? wtf) fit new clutch and flywheel Plus a bunch of lesser items replaced, Why cant a reputable business in the Porsche industry tell me what type of flippin clutch and flywheel they have installed, id like to order another clutch but if theyve put in a lightened flywheel i need to get a different one, So i need to pull it all out before i order and then wait for it to arrive, not good. I just want to know so i can order NOW , but those so called experts cant/wont tell me what was put in, just a lame excuse saying that their clutches are ordered from somewhere else and they dont have model numbers for them, even after i quoted the invoice they couldnt tell me if the flywheel was lightened aluminum or not. sounds like dodgy brothers to me, sounds like they are hiding something and when i pull the clutch out ill be looking at it very closely These guys are one of Australias biggest, with driver training schools, race cars, prep parts, service etc etc.. But as far as im concerned they are a bunch of WANKERS A make believe OZ Porsche performance and parts company but in reality a bunch of inefficent non caring people with extremely bad attitudes, you should have heard the secretary.. i asked her i wanted to know the clutch type and i have the invoice number, she says we wouldnt know that as all cars are different, yes i know thats why i have the invoice number you can look the job up cant you? well she couldnt wtf? then this other guy (RICHARD) says well if a clutch was put in the motor and if it wasnt a good one for that engine it wont last long, and i said well i have the flippin reciept you put the clutch in so what did you put in then? he says i dont know we get them from somewhere else Porsche dont have specific clutches with serials on them etc etc etc WTF dumb and dumber?? Then he tells me to take it all out to find out what is in there WTF?WTF?? most likely her training downloaded from India for 10 bucks and he would make a backyard mechanic look like einstein With great prejudice to PR TECHNOLOGY Proud Title of being the biggest make believe Porsche parts and service rip off company in Australia Im over all the rip off businesses there are just too many these days and to make it worse they talk down to you like your an idiot, like youv'e done something wrong I HOPE some of their staff read this and it gets to their manager , but most likely it was the manager i spoke to today wouldn't surprise me , but i will always go out of my way from this day on to BADMOUTH that poor excuse for a business in making me dismantle my 930 in a hurry so i can find out whats in there so i can order a new clutch !!!!!!!!! so help me god thats friggin it!

+20% clamp means the new clutch is 20% more clamping force than the stock clutch.
Previous owner receipts can be a bit tricky to decipher. Take the example of my folder pile... 90% of receipts are hand written from years ago and lacking the same information as yours. Some are quite broad descriptors such as "high lift sport cam" with no additional details (I disassembled to find they were Crane cams and had part numbers stamped out of view on the end). This is not atypical. I wouldn't expect to phone up the shop that did the work with only a receipt number and expect them to have any detailed record of parts used on a job unless I had picked the car up with that recent work completed the day before. You weren't even the customer of record for the work... these guys don't owe you anything and if you flipped an attitude or temper tantrum on the phone then I'm not surprised they told you to take a hike. My $.02.
