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.

Ive tried everything, home depot springs, specialty springs, no spring but the clutch just never felt right. No spring, or a weaker spring wont work for me since im in traffic often. My leg can handle the work, its the bottom of my feet that were taking a beating. Well after a month of battling stalls, and awkward take offs, I decided to add a clutch stop, added my stock helper spring, and zip tied the plunger switch on the clutch pedal, and also ziptied the clutch starter switch. The clutch stop wont let me start the car so I had to zip tie the start switch. Now the clutch engages perfectly everytime, and at a nice low point from clutch pedal release. My question though, will zip tying the start switch cause damage? I have other cars that dont have start switches so Im no dummy, clutch is always in when I start em up.
Don't think having the start switch tied will cause damage no, unless you forget to put the clutch in if it is in gear when you start or forget to have it in neutral when you start.
Ok, fair enuff. Im old skool so the switch delete stays. No valets for me, and I never put my car in gear, unless I parked on a hill, or incline. Some safety stuff is made for grandmas, kids, and just plain ol dummys I suppose, which is why I always put the clutch in. I have accidentally turned the key on before, and lurched the car forward in gear, but I was a kid, or dumb that day. Its kinda nice to finally not stall in traffic though, so ill take the trade off
i'm definitely a dummy!!
working on my '77 911 in garage many yrs ago- reached thru window to start car again as i'd done a few times already-- i knew it was in neutral and didn't check-
(forgot that i put it in reverse)- turned key- car began to jump backwards and started- oh ****- by time i turned key off- the drivers door edge hit garage wall as car continued slowly backward door ended up parallel to front fender- and i was almost wedged against side of garage door jam as i tried to turn it off- expensive lesson-
i don't mind having to push in clutch to start in my 02 996- i did take out the clutch helper spring and wired up the plunger switch though
Here ya go, simple, and prob not the best But it gets the job done, and no one looks down there to notice anything. I wasnt going to drill into the car so I simply drilled into the pedal, secured a bolt going though it, and added a rubber stop. I still have to velcro a rubber, or carbon fiber pad I'm making, to the carpet so that it doesnt wear into it. final steps will be to paint it black, clean my carpeting and replace the mats with black ones.
No, but if you look up on the pedal lever, ull see a black switch with an exposed metal contact. If u pull down on the contact, toward the floor of the car, youll hear it click. Doesnt take much force. Ull see only 2 switches on the clutch. The plunger, is for the anti-stall mapping, thats not it
