I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with:

968 disk







I'm thinking of the RS Barn flywheel. I had seen discussion of disk but admit I didn't quite follow it all. Do our OEM use a rubber center ring? I just rolled over 100K miles with original clutch and quite a bit of autox and DE. I think the time has/is coming.



I know Flash is doing some R&D here but, in case the clutch blows and he's not done...



Thanks.

The 968 clutch does not have a rubber center. It is "solid".

The "rubber" in our systems is in the DMF - dual mass flywheel that has a rubber dampener sandwiched between the two "masses". RS Barn has made a lightweight flywheel, and it appears that development is nearly completed for a spring-centered clutch disk.

Thanks.



I had a ride in a 944 equipped with a 968 engine (but 944 clutch and transmission) at an autox and realized how much the DMF takes away from the car. So much that I've been rethinking living with some noise. But now the horizon looks bright and more quiet.

Strange, but if you look at their picture of the clutch disk, it has no springs like discribed. It looks like a standard 968 disc would.

It is a standard 968 replacement clutch.

the disk pictured above is a standard 968 disk - it is not the new spring centered disk
