I am making more progress toward getting the Boxster back together and on the road. Last night I replaced the RMS. I was afraid that I had installed it too far, but measured today and it is right where it should be.

I installed the new flywheel. I made a bracket to hold the flywheel while I torqued the bolts. I didn't like the idea of putting all that stress on the crankshaft pinned at the other end. I did wish I had a bigger breaker bar though.



I was getting ready to install the clutch and I noticed something that seemed odd. My new Sachs clutch disk has a narrower band of friction material than the original OEM clutch disk.



Can anyone tell me why there is this difference between the OEM disk and a well known brand? Seems that the disk with more material would last longer.

Thanks
