SACHS POWER CLUTCH KIT FOR CLASSIC 911/CARRERA 3.2 WITH 915 GEARBOX

-

Removing weight from a car’s flywheel is a proven modificati­on for those who seek better performanc­e by way of faster climbing through the rev range, but it’s not often a lightweigh­t clutch is mentioned in the same breath, even though it delivers the same kind of benefit. Fortunatel­y, OEM manufactur­er, Sachs, produces exactly this product for owners of naturally aspirated 911s (2.4-litre to 3.2-litre models between 1972 and 1986) making use of the Type 915 gearbox. Saving an impressive 1.7kg over the stock part it replaces, the Sachs kit includes an aluminium pressure plate, a clutch disc, release bearing and grease. With less mass to rotate, you can expect an improvemen­t in accelerati­on and throttle response after fitting, whilst avoiding the heavy on/off pedal action commonly associated with many performanc­e or race clutches (especially paddle clutches). Sensibly priced, the kit is available direct from the Heritage Parts Centre website under part number 915-116-911-00/HD. UK customers benefit from free delivery.
