Guys need help quickly. I am driving a 2004 Carrera 2 on the freeway when my clutch became very stiff. When I press the clutch more, this cylindrical plastic thing with springs fell off the footwell. The car runs perfectly and much better. Should I continue driving it or should I have it towed now. It's very dark and raining outside, can I ride it back home (10 miles)? I decided to stop in a restaurant to take pics and examine this thing.
Go without it you will be fine, it s just an assist spring basically helps you press your clutch down that little bit at the end, most manual cars dont even have them, you can rock it without one and the only difference it will make is that you should have a little stiffer shifts aka a little harder to press your clutch pedal all the way in.
That's the clutch booster spring. Won't hurt you w/o it other than more effort on operating the clutch. Some ppl even remove it as a mod
Thanks guys, Rennlist rocks!
I need to replace mine... too much time in bumper to bumper traffic. I could kick a rhino to death with my left leg.
Looks like the PO had it off as a 'MOD' for a while then decided to put it back before he sold it to you and didn't put it back as it came off.
Ha, try driving around in traffic with a 3500lb mechanical clutch like my Z28 had back in the day :/
Anybody with part number and link to DIY install of this clutch booster spring? Thanks!
Settle in and read this. You will be well educated. With it out your cruise control may not work. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...matically.html
That assy does not look right. It should be pushed open (longer) if the spring is intact. Normally you have to have a pin through the the rod that is sticking out the back of the assy (right side in the pic) or you will not be able to compress it into the pedal mount. You remove the pin after it is in place. That is probably why it fell out. The spring is broken or missing.
Here is the part number for you. 996-423-081-18 It should have a cost of $63.65 Let me know if you have any problems finding a new one. Erik Johnson
