Also is in real world, is super bearing worth the spend over std If you have the tools, you can replace the bearings yourself. But if you're going to replace them, the super bearings will be easier to install and get right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lever to the box looking forward to driving this once all work finishedHi Michel,I am also thinking about ordering some Super Bearings for a TT rebuild - please let me know how you go with them. Are you ordering 3 or 4 bearings? I see they say 3 is "enough" for a normal street car 4 is recommended for heavy work & racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly Posted 11May, 2017 Report Share Posted 11May, 2017 Hi Michel, Didn't see this thread until now. FWIW I have been running a Fidanza lifhtweight flywheel and HD pressure plate in my 951 since 2002 and it has worked well. Constantine is preparing an invoice for me for Superbearings. We've had a few phone calls over the past week to talk about my requirements. I'm going with the rubber (vice steel) shielded bearings.In my quest to nail as much vibration as possible I've also ordered the only944 needle bearing based shifter to conpensate for the (limited) play between my current shift lever and the shift tube it connects to.Are you able to remove your own TT?

No, nothing to do with the pressure plate. I have a vibration issue which arose after reinstalling my engine & transaxle recently. I believe it to be TT related and I am about to address that but have also decided to address a few other contributors to excessive vibration/noise at the same time.

brian in buddina Posted 11May, 2017 Report Share Posted 11May, 2017 KellyHave you tried posting this balance issue on the forum? Maybe someone else has had this same balance problem after reinstalling the engine & transaxle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone else has had this same balance problem after reinstalling the engine & transaxle. No, I haven't really felt a need to do so. I'm aware of the likely causes and I'm comfortable with working my way through them. Over the past week or so I've also had some conversations with Sean & Constantine and we are in agreeance about probable cause based on some observations and checks I've already made.
