After having the AP 2500 lb. clutch kit sourced through Pete installed last month, I can report that pedal effort is greatly reduced over the Sachs 3100 lb. unit that was in the car when I bought it. Flash would probably hate the feel, as engagement is a bit soft, even for my taste, but operation is nice and smooth with all new components everywhere in there. Perhaps I need to bleed the hydraulics or just drive it more and wear it in to get the clamping to feel a bit more positive? (car is down with a bad hall sender right now)

It's the one I'm planning to use (the blue strip -133 that is). I just removed the no stripe -132 part which was waay too stiff. My PGT feels like butter compared to the -132 part, and the PGT clutch will hold up to 350 hp at the wheels. If I really don't like the feel, the 968 clutch is soo easy to replace I'll switch to something else then. I like the feel of Eric K's clutch which is not a Sachs unit. And, I know from the class he runs he has ~300 at the wheels. So, his choice is another candidate if I don't like the feel of the -133. And, I can have both for no more than I'd spend for the -131.

no luck - the warehouse won't pull the part without me buying it.

I'll be a while before I'm at Sunset again, but I'll talk to the Parts Manager to see if he can help us with the warehouse.

OK, here we go again... I contacted Sunset, they gave me the part number 968 116 911 00, This is for the complete clutch kit. I found the same kit at a local supplier (EBS Racing) here in Reno. I went down there today and Jim was kind enough to pull the kit for me so I could check out the pressure plate.
It has a BLUE stripe!
The casting shows TYP GMFZ 240 Sachs 3032 125 199
It is STAMPED T38 10 3082 213 133
So, I am guessing, in spite of the same part number, the BLUE stripe and the 3082 213 133 indicate that it is the WRONG plate.
Any suggestions or advice?
