I think my CLUTCH is on it's way OUT---->
Well, before you start snickering about me posting a CLUTCH issue,... I had searched the archives and read what I found, now,...
Basically, I noticed it when I shifted to 2nd and gased it,... it felt like the car had let go for a second then pushed forward a bit, it did that a couple of times in almost a very smooth rocking motion? Also, I noticed the the RPM's were a bit higher then it was suppose to be for whatever speed I was doing. The car felt like it lost its pickup? I had really noticed it when I floor it every changing of a gear. Usually I see the front of the car pick up a bit due to the torque, nows it doesnt picked up as much and when I gas it after changing gears it is like extra smooth feeling. I tried to explain it the best I can. Later on Im gong to do what lordgrommit had told somone else to do. Put the car in 3rd gear and apply brakes and then let go of clutch. If clutch is good car should die fast. Also, someone said somthing about an inspection plate on transaxle and powertube, put my hand inside feel for driveaxle i think them move it back forth if it clankes then clutch is bad? Well, if my clutch is bad, I will need a new one  Teasing, I should go a centerforce? I heard they were good? What about sachs? PELPARTS has a complete kit with everything for like $701 for my car, would it be best to replace all of it with new parts? The thing is that full kits come with sachs! Whats up with sachs? If I get the centerforce kit what doe that usually come with? I know it does come with every thing the sachs kit does from PELPARTS. I dont know what do you guyz think?

I dont want to use like-new stuff,... I just want to know if I should replace all this stuff for my car, i have an 87 944S with like 75,000 miles on it.
This is the pelicanparts full clutch kit. Is this necessary? Will I be fine just buying a new clutch? New 944 Pressure Plate New 944 Clutch Disc New 944 Throw-out Bearing 9 Flywheel Bolts Pilot Bearing 2 Release Lever Shaft Bearings Slave Clutch Cylinder Flywheel Seal Throw-Out Bearing Guide Tube Clutch Alignment Tool Clutch Master Cylinder

other than the clutch master and slave cylinder (mine were absolutely fine and didn't need replacement)... those are EXACTLY the parts i got. the pelican kit has everything you will need.
good luck! obin

I live in Willingboro NJ, and I do all the work myself atleast will try too, but I have several people to back me up if I fail so a P-mechanic is a last resort. I also commute to new brunswick and east brunswick alot.
