original clutch?

[rowingone]

I have a 1972 911T and I pulled the motor for a rear seal leak . . I am replacing the clutch just because I'm in there but I am trying to determine if the clutch was the original to the car with 81k miles on it. It is the rubber loaded as opposed to the spring loaded type and says Sachs on it . . was that the original manufacturer of the clutch for Porsche?

yes that it the original clutch disc-what is the thickness,how is the other side looking?

The other side looks the same . . not sure how to measure but it looks to be about 30% left based on comparison with the new one. I see these for sale on Ebay . . who would buy a used clutch!? Its nice to know the previous owner treated the clutch and car with care.

main thing is how it the pressure plate and the flywheel.If ok just get new disc..

not sure how to measure

You measure how much friction material is left above the rivets
