Just so happens I just did a G50 clutch job last week. The bronze bushing kit is a piece of cake. In the event the case was bored out for the Porsche "repair kit", it comes with case bushings too. The release bearing guide tube OD changed with the release bearing ID changing so plan on replacing both. And as Kevin and Jeff pointed out, the G50 flywheel can be resurfaced if using a non rubber centered disc (NLA). With the new cross shaft, the resulting clutch action was as smooth as my 915.

Thanks Kevin,

I ended up buying the bushing kit, guide tube, seal behind the flywheel, Sachs clutch kit with 6 springs and release bearing kit (with rings). Wish someone would offer a kit with all this stuff included. Ordered online from three different places until I finally found a place that could get a clutch for the G50. Apparently they are hard to find right now.

I dont think I will need a flywheel. Seems to engage smoothly now. Will likely clean up / deglaze if there is nothing obviously wrong with it.

Assume I can reuse all bolts.

Thanks,

Clutch kits are available complete, interwebs will yield results. Even Rock Auto has kits available...

Replace the bolts. They are cheap in the big scheme of things.

If the surface of the flywheel does not have deep heat marks, use a roll lock disc on a die grinder to deglaze.
