Hi all I am looking for some assistance/ directions on how to replace the damper plate in my '87 924s. I have purchased several books but not much info to help. Thanks

Look in Clark's Garage for a write up. Not sure if he covers the automatics, but much of it is the same, other than you have a clamp up near the damper on the torque tube that has to be dealt with.

I have never worked on automatics, so not sure of the details.

www.clarks-garage.com

Look under Garage Shop Manual

Here's a direct link to the page that KD is referring to.

http://www.clarks-garage.com/shop-manual/clutch-01.htm

Also, due to the expense of the damper, some have swapped in clutch. It is a cheaper solution; and while I've also never worked on an auto, I have sold a few old clutches for that purpose.

The biggest difference is the way the clutch & the damper are attached. On the automatic, you remove the bolts that attach the damper to the flex plate, leave the damper attached to the driveshaft, move the TT back & then you can remove the damper from the driveshaft. There is a clip holding it on. The procedure for removing the clutch disk won't work for the automatic.

All he needs to know is how to remove the coupler like KD already mentioned. There appears to be a bolt holding it in place, not a "clip. After that, the rest is exactly like doing a clutch, but easier since you won't have to mess with the fork.

Also, where is this "flexplate" that he needs to remove bolts from?

The clip is #25, you can't slide the driveshaft out of the assembly with it on.
"Flexplate" is another term for flywheel on an automatic, it is bolted to the crankshaft (neither are shown).
