It was too dark to check the level last night so it was the first thing I checked this morning.

He had his clutch, slave/master cylinders replaced several times just to find out there was a spring in the pedal box that had gone twisted.

The car has still some month warranty left from my purchase so if it happen again I will definitely make use of it.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I bet it will happen after 32 days, just got and have it fixed by the dealer
I was checking out my brakes today and after a full stop from maybe 60mph my clutch pedal got weird. It feels like it doesn't want to come all the way up and is not leveled with the brake pedal. I know the clutch and the brakes share the same fluid but what could have happened? Do I have a leak somewhere?
The brakes feels good though.
I drove carefully back home and the clutch didn't slip (well I didn't try to force it).
Ps. Yes I pressed down both the clutch and the brake pedal as hard as i could for my brake test.
Please advice!
They do share same fluid.. when I was bleeding my brakes, clutch wouldn't come up after bleeding (I had to pull it up by hand).
Maybe try to bleed the brakes/clutch?
How is your brake fluid level?
Sasha
Thank you for your reply!
It was too dark to check the level last night so it was the first thing I checked this morning. The fluid level was low but not below. I will add some today.
However, I took your advice and pulled the pedal back to its normal position but the feel was not what I expected. It was mechanic and gave a rough sound. Sounded like there was some jam in the pedal box itself!
I read somewhere that someone had a simular problem. He had his clutch, slave/master cylinders replaced several times just to find out there was a spring in the pedal box that had gone twisted. Maybe that spring caused my drama last night 'cos after that nasty crunch it all went back to normal!
I will however keep a close look at the clutch/brake fluid in the future. The car has still some month warranty left from my purchase so if it happen again I will definitely make use of it.
From what you describing it might be the spring...
You have ONE MONTH of warranty left, don't wait for it to happen again.. I bet it will happen after 32 days, just got and have it fixed by the dealer
Sasha
I missed one s. I have 5 months of warranty left but I doubt they will replace it in working order. If it happens again though I will most certainly take it to Porsche.
The fuel level was back to full after my little pull so I don't have a leak at least.
