Re: New Clutch Install on 2001 Coupe (DPC5)
I'm taking the pluge and having the clutch done next week. Performance shop here quoted 6.5 hours but I have Headers on so they added a little bit. Your quote sounds about right to me. I'm going with the Center Force dual friction and new Billet flywheel

Re: New Clutch Install on 2001 Coupe (fairway)
Fairway,
I went to a local performance shop in Crofton (ELD Performance) and asked them what they recommended and the Centerforce is what they said. I wanted to have the shop pick and order the clutch just in case something goes wrong. That way no finger pointing about what happened. If Cartek was closer I would have gone to them, but a 4 hour drive one way is to far for me. I also think the Cartek clutch may be a bit overkill for MY application.

I was going to have a new clutch installed and got surprised
that the new engine came with a balanced clutch already installed
on the engine.
I really cannot tell much difference betweent the old 2001 clutch
and the 2002 clutch. They may be the same.
If you are going for a new one, I assume you are talking about the
Z06 or some third party
