'86 944 Clutch
My dad just bought a 1986 944 and it needs a new clutch. I was looking at the ones sold by Pelican and I was hoping for some feedback. Please let me know what experiences you've had and if i should be looking at a used clutch. thanks

Why would anyone buy a used clutch? Would you buy used tires and used brake pads as well? How about used oil?
If you're looking to do the car cheaply, just sell it and buy a Camaro or a Mustang or something that can be repaired inexpensively. Buy the later spring-centered clutch. Buy the full kit (bearings, pressure plate, etc). You're looking at about $1K in parts.

944 n/a owners love nickel-and-diming.

That's not true. When my 44 went in for it's clutch I bought a full Sachs clutch assembly from Pelican and had EVERYTHING aside from the flywheel replaced. I also had my tranny replaced because it's final drive was in big trouble- I replaced with a 951 tranny too, not another weak-cheapo 944 NA unit. |

sell the n/a first, before it depreciates further.

I love this car. Plus what better am I gonna use for a daily driver that WON'T depreciate, and will get 25 mpg Regardless I'm gonna have a car that depreciates, might as well be one that I love.

i've got an 88 audi 5000s quattro that gets 25mpg and doesn't depreciate much more than it already has.
reliable, luxurious, and awd to boot! oh, and same tranny as the 951 !
