Anyone want a low mile 968 Conv 6spd?
This is running at auction here in Minneapolis next week. It was taken in on trade at a local Ford/Lincoln dealership, so you know they own it right. This is NOT my car, but I can buy it.
1993 Porsche 968 Convertible 27,860 miles 6 speed Runs great, no damage, no issues except: BAD CLUTCH

I've been wanting one for a while.
The panel gaps near the hood look humongous though - has it been in a front-end crash at some point? "Bad clutch" is a pretty extensive job on a 944/951/968. If you DIY it'll take a couple of weekends if you're diligent and don't mind it - maybe $1k in parts. If you take it to a shop I think the book on it is about 20 hours. Big bucks.

Ooo, that is tempting, but I have way too many projects on my plate right now. Roughly , what do you think you could buy that car for? Man a guy like me could make some nice coin on a car like that if it was bought right.
I love the 968. I service a couple of them and they are pretty much what the 944 should have been .

Looks OK but how can a car with 27,860 miles on it have a bad clutch?

Keep in mind that has the two piece bellhousing. No need to drop the transmission to do the clutch.

That's a plus... Wasn't aware of it (and makes me wonder why the #@&*%!!! they didn't think of that or do it on all the 924/944/951 models previous!)

That's a sweet car. There's a red one in my plantation, people always give me funny looks when I get excited about seeing it...

General buyer beware on a 968 with a bad clutch: they have dual-mass flywheels, and typically those need to be replaced if the clutch goes bang. They cannot be resurfaced.
An extra 8 hours of labor for the 944 clutch = the price of a DMF. 6 of one, half dozen of the other. Nice car, just keep in mind the parts alone are going to approach $2000 to do it right. |

Even with a 2k clutch, if you can buy it for 4, it's still a steal

There is a good used clutch and DMF on eBay for $290 BIN
Or just a good used DMF flywheel for $85 Or a new Fidanza flywheel for $370 (11lbs vs 27lb DMF) Couple that with a $670 new Sachs clutch kit So you're $400 to $1100 in parts Here's a great write-up for the labor involved: Clutch - Porsche 968 It's a 3-5 hour job
