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.
