My clucth was replaced at 48k miles when the motor was out, I had already bought the parts and had them installed at no additional charge, as tech told me just a few minutes to put these in.

sounds like a throw out bearing to me, although i would aslo check the pilot when the trans was out, never seen a pilot on a porche fail though..............

I'm torn - on the one hand I can't understand why I'd replace the clutch after just 16K miles.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

So, with just 16K on the car the clutch started making weird noises yesterday when it was depressed. Took it in today and they said that the throw out bearing needs replacing - which means dropping out the tranny and therefore 10-11 hours work. All under warranty - phew!
They are suggesting I get a new clutch as the labor is effectively free - cost to me is $750 in parts.
I'm torn - on the one hand I can't understand why I'd replace the clutch after just 16K miles. On the other hand, if the labor is free, maybe it's best to do it.
this is the first and only time you will here me say this 2003 c2 throw out bearing should be no more then 7-8 hours anything more then that and you are getting raped.
ok, well difficult to explain on a forum, but i will give it a go.
Only time there was any noise was when i depressed the clutch. At idle, or in gear there is no noise. Changing gear is no issue. Clutch is not soft.
When I depress the clutch there is quite a lot of clicking/chatting/vibrating going on while not moving. The noise is coming from under the car towards the rear. The clutch itself has started to squeak as I push it in.
While driving, when I change gear I can hear a something spinning as I depress the clutch. The faster I'm moving, the faster the spinning noise. I believe this is the throw out bearing (tho I'm way past my mechanical knowledge at this time!)
You can buy the Sachs OE clutch kit which includes brand new, not reman, Disc, PP, and T/O brng for less than $400. Labor SHOULD be 3-4hrs max., many experienced techs can di it in 2.5hrs.
My clucth was replaced at 48k miles when the motor was out, I had already bought the parts and had them installed at no additional charge, as tech told me just a few minutes to put these in. My original was less than 50% worn.
Clutch wear is not mileage specific, but determined by number of disengagements and engagements and the amount of slipping and how power is applied. Every case is different.
sounds like a throw out bearing to me, although i would aslo check the pilot when the trans was out, never seen a pilot on a porche fail though..............
well the service manager had it diagnosed in 5 seconds before the car was even parked in the bay, so he seemed pretty confident that's what it was.....
