Update

CLUTCHMASTERS were so difficult(cheap) to deal with that I bought a new release bearing, clutch cover and flywheel bolts from Sunset and requested the (AASCO alu flywheel specific) pilot bearing only ,from clutchmasters (they didn't even charge me!).
I've discovered that the flywheel position-sensor was about to fall out as the bolt securing it was barely threaded in!!!! $100/hr and the 'Porsche trained' mechanic forgot to tighten the bolt!! A learned in a book called 'prepare to win',long ago the concept of 'nutting and bolting'- it's where at the end of a job , or the last thing you do to a car before you deem a car race-worthy, you give each and every nut and bolt a quick pull -a double check as you've already torqued everything to it's proper rate-right?
I recently bought some real trick RS wheel spacers off of a Porsche tech and he told me that he thinks the bolts that came loose on the clutch cover did so because they weren't properly torqued!!!! ( I'm noticing a pattern of behavior) AND then the fingers were resting and operating unevenly which caused the CLIPS ON THE PORSCHE RELEASE BEARING TO BRAKE OFF!!!! Hence- strange clutch behavior!!!....now I'm feeling moody:troll: no wonder my valves got BENT when they installed the LN ceramic IMS bearing..("they shouldn't have moved...")
