Clutch Time for me - what do you like or dislike about yours?

Made a blast today, and in top gear, at a good clip, I noticed the revs climb without the extra hyperdrive. It's time for a clutch and I'll limp it to winter, and do it while the snow flies.

I'd like to hear opinions about what you have, who you got it from, and what's good/bad (chatter, engagment hi/low, durability, pricing?)

Leaning now towards the Clutchmaster +3 from Vivid with stock DM flywheel. Thoughts?

I called Kevin at UMW and got the kit, with LWFW and it has been great. He is guru on these things. All the little screws and such are in the box....Sachs and OEM Porsche LWFW (964RS I think).

Boy.....that's a lot of faith to put into "barely used"....could be a good deal .....just remember the labor involved to replace it if it is a little more than barely......I'd certainly want to take a couple quick measurements prior to buying it.

Running my Stage 3 CM for 800-900 miles now, a DD with periodic DE. The more i drive it the smoother it gets. 1st was herky jerky for around 400-500 miles. Now almost as smooth as stock. Plus it holds and hasnt stuck yet at all. Shifts into 2nd are getting better. At first, if rev matches werent perfect, the clutch would grab hard and let you know you better pay attention! Overall Im happy with it.
