Need Help With New Sport Clutch/Lightweight Flywheel Install

[996 Fan]

Hi Everyone,

I'm a newbie here, I've been a Porsche Owner for Years and Years, but have just finally decided to do some work myself, so I found this great resource. Outstanding Forum Everyone.

I have a 2001 996 Cab.

Our clutch has just bitten the dust and I bought a new Lightweight Aasco Flywheel, and the Sport Clutch Cover and Uprated Sprung Clutch Disc.

Now, I have a question on putting it together.

I've installed a new RMS, and by the way, anywone wanting to do this job, it is very, very easy. No special tools needed, no worries.

But, here's MY problem. After installing the Lightweight Flywheel, I was getting to installing the Springed Disc and the Sport Cover, and I am spumped on WHICH DIRECTION they need to be installed.

Neither side of the disc is marked with an arrow or directions as to which side should be close to the flywheel. It seems that it can be installed in either direction, which has me stumped.

Can anyone shed some light on my predicament? Which side faces the flywheel? The side that sticks out from the disc? or the flush side. There are two distinct sides.

I have always installed them one way, but, the supplier seems to be telling me to install it the other, and that has me baffled.

HEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!! Please.

Thanks so Much,

Brian

My spring side of the disk faces toward the flywheel if that helps but I had to have my flywheel machined by Spec Clutch to make it fit!
