Bill replied to Shin Goto's discussion 'Is Anybody know the reasonable shop to buy Damper plate ?'
Correct.
No, I did not. I donated them to the garage that did the mod.

Hey Ken,
I should have explained it better. The following basic parts were used to perform the mod:
- 944 flywheel

Just curious, is there a…
Bill replied to Daniel J.'s discussion 'Tranny noises and strange knocks...any ideas please ?'
