Several months ago, when my 914/8 was running and driving, it began exibiting a 'chirping' sound with the clutch pedal depressed. After several days driving around town the car suddenly became very difficult to get into gear. I limped it home and just as I got there it outright refused to engage.
I didn't have time to get right into it as other projects where calling but I've finally dropped the transaxle and had a look.
To my eyes the clutch is toast, but there were other questionable things lurking inside the bellhousing.
Here are some photos so you Porsche-geniouses can perhaps give some feedback.

Oh, and yes, all the flywheel, and PP bolts were on tight.

I had bolts that were tight but bottomed out and couldnt bring the plate in all the way. Took me awhile to figure out what was wrong. I got ship the wrong bolts in my kit.

You guys rock. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Thanks. Now when I go back out to the garage I've got several ideas to throw at this thing.
I'll let you know what I figure out.
