I set out nice and early for Goodwood yesterday and was enjoying a nice blast along the country roads after the A3 when suddenly I began experiencing problems selecting gears. After the immediate panic of thinking it was an expensive problem with my recently rebuilt gearbox I thought a bit more rationally and realised it was probably down to the clutch not disengaging fully and sure enough with a bit of care and heal and toe type stuff I was able to select gears easily enough. Anyway, a fun day at Goodwood followed (will post up some pics separately) and, while driving home through the Friday evening rush without a properly functioning clutch release mechanism didn't top my list of all time favourite experiences, I did eventually make it home in one piece. Anyway, finally to the question. I'm a reasonably competent DIY tinkerer and wouldn't think twice about taking on a rebuild of a clutch master or slave cylinder on an average car, so am thinking of investigating this myself. Can anyone advise how easy this is likely to be on the 930? I haven't even got as far as looking into how accessible things are yet, as by the time I got home last night I was exhausted from the combination of the excitement of Goodwood and the stress of the drive home, so I just parked it up and opened a cold beer! Any advice or tips much appreciated. Chris

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.
