Anyone bought one recently? Having to replace after only 2 years and a couple thousand miles...

Prices vary massively so any pointers on where to source the cheapest very welcome!

Turbo Clutch is around £500 from various sources (Design 911, ebay, carparts4less, eurocarparts)

Unfortunately I don't think they fit the NA car as I believe the bell housing is slightly different amongst other things.

The NA clutch looks to be carparts4less / eurocarparts have it for just over £800 (might be able to use one of their discount codes to get it cheaper).

EDIT: Are you sure it is the clutch? they should last for a good while - my turbo clutch has never been replaced in my ownership of the car and I've done about 90K miles in it still got plenty of material left last time I measured it.

What are the symptoms?

Juddering on down change... I suspect the last one was not fitted correctly, will find out when I take it out... Only done about 2 k on it...
It's particularly prevalent changing down 3rd to 2nd...
I suspect the flywheel..

Juddering may not be the clutch, worth checking engine & gearbox mounts. Also can occasionally be a contaminated clutch plate & flywheel. A bit of clutch abuse can burn this off.

Hopefully the latter as already replaced the mounts...

Knackered slave cylinder is quite common on the 944, they tend to get overlooked when people change the brake fluid.

I bled my clutch circuit last year and the fluid that came out was brown...
