Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

The dual-mass flywheel is at the limit and needs to be replaced, too.

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.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well, I tempted Murphy with this post: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...ml#post9977622 and now he's getting revenge. Yesterday driving to work I first noticed the clutch takeup felt a little weird on an uphill start. Then the pedal got harder and the engagement got lower and lower and I limped in to work. I thought I might be able to drive it to the shop but when I restarted the clutch wouldn't disengage enough to get into any gear. So my second flatbed ride in three months. They checked the hydraulics and everything was fine, so they're pulling it apart today. Definitely going to do Jake's IMS replacement while they're in there, anyway.

POST 2Original post

Exciting post. Could you please post some photos of the RR? Mileage? Other symptoms earlier?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It was a cracked pressure plate. 71k miles. The dual-mass flywheel is at the limit and needs to be replaced, too. Good news though--the IMS seal was leaking along with the RMS, so fortunate timing to do all the work.

Sounds like a blessing in disguise that they all need replacement anyway and you're saving labor by doing all of them the same time Was the leak observable externally or you found out only after the trans been removed?

POST 5Original post

Was the PP being severely over-heated or abused? What brand?

POST 6Original post

Where was the crack on the pressure plate?

POST 7Original post

And photo?

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sorry, didn't take a photo. The fingers on one side of the failed PP were 1/4" or so lower than on the other side. Normal daily-driver use. No abuse. However, my shop said that it looked like the clutch had been replaced before. There was a missing plastic spacer and spring clip and rtv sealant around the RMS seal.
