The fingers on the pressure plates also get weaker with use, causing the clutch to not let the trans shift properly.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

How do you know if your clutch is getting worn and can it be adjusted. Goes into gear a little harder than before. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

I take it this is for the '02 996? Can you start with some basic info about the car...mileage, service history... When was the last time the clutch was bled? I'd probably start there and see how it feels. What about trans fluid? The fluid is critical to smooth operation and not any trans fluid will work. If you do the clutch the trans will be out and that's the perfect time to put in Porsche trans fluid. Depending on how the clutch is used, it could last from 40 to 80,000 miles. If it's the original clutch it is 12 years old and may have worn down to the rivets. The fingers on the pressure plates also get weaker with use, causing the clutch to not let the trans shift properly. So if you decide to service the clutch, get an entire kit with TO bearing as well. These clutches are not adjustable BTW.

POST 4Original post

Mine has almost 100k, if it wasn't changed when it had a new motor put in at~ 35k. No issues so far. Used to be a 50k job but now I've heard of ones going to 150k.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks gents and sorry for the delay in responding. Bought at 42K KM (+/- 30K miles) and now has 88K KM (+/- 50K miles). Never been changed from what I know. Going for tranny oil soon (thanks Tony). Jumpin' Joe: Will try that.
