Follow the instructions here: http://www.clarks-garage.com. This is a ten to twelve hour job when you know what you are doing.

you are VERY lucky that when you popped the clutch you only tore the center out of the clutch - you could easily have destroyed the transmission also.
If you have the parts and a reasonable level of mechanical skill you can do the job in 2 days - read the archives of this NG for hints - I posted some as did others, get started early and don't rush. be sure your new clutch has the spring center, never use a rubber centered clutch under any circumstances. Be sure you have the proper tools also, including the proper allen wrenches, and be sure you read the porsche factory manual steps on doing this job
I've done a few, two days is enough time, but the first time out, I would not attempt it in a single day

Well... I have a 86 944 n/a
The first thing is the clutch was clunking and I know that I need a new clutch as the rubber is probably non existant.
Now.... the new issue. I poped the clutch and now it just clicks in any gear. I hope that I have not totally destroyed the whole thing.
I want to replaced the clutch plate on sunday but am I heading down a bad road? I only have Saturday night and Sunday to do the job and want to drive the car on Monday. I think that I can do the job but my question is, "what did I do to my Baby".
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Signed A very sad man.
