[FLYGEEZER]

My 84 automatic with 133,000 miles 'blew' the first dampner at 120.000 miles and 25 years old. Replacement cost, with parts & labor ten years ago was around $1100.00. The bad part of the deal is.. the last disc made was in 1995. The NOS sitting on parts shelves around the planet are ALL getting old and we know how well the germans make rubber & plastic parts. Age causes bad things to happpen (cracks/seperation) . If I ever need another one ...I'll do the Ean 944online thing and get a standard flywheel and clutch (without a throwout bearing) and do it that way for a lot less money. My 944 doesn't get driven enough anymore, just shows, cars & coffee and PCA club events so I'm hopeful I'll never need another one. But who knows, time marches on and time is as bad as miles & usage.
