Should I replace stock clutch with aftermarket or stock?
Hey fellow pelicanites, I configured a few searches but did not find an answer / the advice I am looking for so I have decided to post.
I have to replace the clutch on my 1987 911. The engine is basically a stock 3.2. I do have long term plans to do a 3.6 but its probably at least a couple years away. I am considering the KEP clutch and a lightened fly wheel from Patrick Motorsports but have reservations of engine stalling with the flywheel even after having a custom chip programmed. Also, I don't know if its really of value to deviate from the stock clutch if I have no near term plans of pushing any additional HP. Great appreciate any advice folks can provide as I need to decide in order to order parts and get my baby back on the road! Best regards, Gerry

Gerry,
I have the Patrick MS lightweight flywheel and pressure plate on my '89 and have no problems stalling the engine. Other than a stiffer clutch pedal I don't find any difficulties with start up. It's a little noisier than stock but I really like the way the engine spins up with the reduced mass. Go for it!
