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.

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

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello guys, I am just wondering would the car or engine be harmed if I stalled the car ocassionally since I am new to driving a manual trans and especially a Porsche?? I just got a 03 C4S!!!! I'll try to post some pics soon. Thanks

POST 2Original post

The clutch will properly take some wear and tear. It is an expensive item. I just have the clutch change on my 03 C4S. It costed $3K. Other than that it is a fun car to drive.

POST 3Original post

We have all done it on ocassion...not a big deal. A little extra wear, maybe but nothing to worry about. You will get the hang of it soon enough.

POST 4Original post

The engine will cope just fine. Try to get in the habit of slipping the clutch for as little time as possible, keep practicing, don't let other drivers stress you out, and it will be fine. Even experienced stick drivers can stall occasionally, so you're in good company.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Guys Thank you all for your pointers!! The handling of this machine is incredible!! I've always been a Mercedes driver.

POST 6Original post

I was actually JUST outside trying to catch the clutch perfectly...still don't have the hang of it

POST 7Original post

Its way better for the clutch and engine to stall it then to slip the clutch

POST 9Original post

Here's a driving school tip from when I learned to drive: use your handbrake when you come to a full stop. Your car won't roll back and you will have a little extra time to find the clutch take up point with minimal slip. This tip will save you a ton of clutch wear, especially if you drive on hills e.g. San Francisco.

POST 10Original post

The only thing it will cost you other than wear is a little embarassment.

POST 11Original post

Just let the clutch slip a little and not worry about it. You will gradually get the hang of it and the slippage will be reduced. You CANNOT start any car off without wearing the clutch disc.

POST 12Original post

Did they at least lube you up when they bent you over?

POST 13Original post

With Mobil 1 at the dealer's "special" price of $13 per quart?
