Default Clutch Issues...

I had a SACHS Stage II clutch installed by my dealer 10k miles ago. The clutch began getting very chattery when it got hot after about 2k miles.

I've talked with people online and the people that sell the clutch and they said the dealer probably didn't resurface the flywheel during install, so it's probably shakey/chattery b/c of heat spots or high/low points on the flywheel.

Well, to make a long story short, the expert clutch tech and service manager at my dealer both drove my car and are pretty sure that my clutch is bad or they sent me the wrong clutch parts. They say it's common on Porsche's the service with the SACHS clutch - the wrong part for the car.

Any ideas? SOrry for the long post.

Default It is hard to put the wrong part on your car. Maybe the disk was bad before they put it on

that or your flywheel got hot spots just from driving 2K miles.
