I replaced my rubber insert Porsche clutch when my 1983 944 was at 110,000
miles.  The rubber insert had broken because of an accident and I drove the
car like that for about 50,000 miles.  I never really knew what the
occasional clunk was till I replaced the worn out clutch.

The Porsche replacement clutch WITH THE RUBBER INSERT lasted 450,000 miles -
I SWEAR TO GOD.  And the clutch was still good when the car eventually
parted ways - so to speak.  The car itself lasted 550,000 miles - original
engine and transmission...oh -and I changed the engine oil about every 8000
miles as the manual recommended.  The 944 is a TANK - it was my daily driver
for 20 years and hardly ever let me down.

So if it was me, I would ALWAYS use original Porsche parts.
