Clutch Disc option 89 Carrera: Power Friction Clutch Disc By EPS

[bcheney]

Has anyone installed a Power Friction Clutch Disc By EPS 5312 into their 87-89 Carrera? Would like to hear some feedback on this disc. The Sachs disc is over $400 and this one is about $200. Just want to make sure this is a quality piece. I found this description of the disc on the web...

Some Porsche Automobiles were equipped, from factory, with a Sachs Rubber Center Clutch Disc. Over time the rubber in these discs would become dry and brittle and ultimately fail. EPS has come up with a solution. Fabricated to precise specifications, they have developed a superior alternative to the, failure prone, rubber center disc. Utilizing a steel inner plate for strength and longevity they implement the use of six dual springs for a robust yet supple recoil. They then went a step further and, with the help from Ferodo (the industry leader in friction material), developed a friction compound "Dynamex" that would far surpass industry standards. Furthermore, the "Power Friction" Discs have an astounding 29% more useable friction material. What does all of this mean? A Dramatic increase in clutch life without compromising comfort, pedal feel or performance.

I just put one in my 915. Clutch slips under full throttle at 5K. Cant say if its the EPS disc for sure. But when I installed a Sachs disc last year, with all the same components, no slip. More info here.

New clutch slipping under full throttle?
