This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

2003 S 144k miles daily driver, clutch slipping at higher loads. Looks like it's time for a new clutch and flywheel. Anyone have words of wisdom on which clutch and flywheel arrangement to choose? How about any "as long as you have it apart" advice?

POST 2Original post

Replace the IMS bearing and rear main oil seal (RMS) while you are in there!

Check out the German made LUK clutch and DM Flywheel. I found the LUK had a 9" disc where the Sach's only had a 8 1/2" disc. That's assembly was for the Wife's 05 TDI Beetle. I know Sach's clutches are in the Boxsters. I might also mention the clutch fingers are a little longer which makes the pedal softer. The Sach's are shorter which makes for a little stiffer pedal. I plan on using the LUK when needed. Both less than 350 from a company in NC.
