944 auto damper plate

[porsche_gus]

Hello. I need to replace my damper plate on my 944. (Cracked)

Anyone have a used one? I've been recommended to not go with used due to the rubber aging but can't afford a new one at the time. Maybe there's a low mileage one that will be good enough.

85.5-87 944

Let me know. Thanks

-Gus

You can also do the clutch swap pretty cheap

You mean swap completely to manual?? Or do the manual flywheel mod?

you'll need a fly wheel. clutch and pressure plate , only use a spring centered disc , no throw out bearing needed, and replace your pilot bearing .

pm if your have any issues

Replace the pilot bearing? Why?

Everything will be spinning at the same rate all of the time, so I don't see why you would need to do this.

I believe this is the same process.

I decided to go with a permanent fix. Manual Clutch setup. Will update soon

The shaft rests inside the bearing , this will allow the continued smooth operation as well as support the end of the drive shaft.

If you decided to go with this method and you use a worn rubber centered disc the rubber will eventually fail also , the spring center is not a smooth but is less likely to fail.


( I have done 6 of these swaps and i prefer the spring center if going this route ).
