This is not a probability of success.

I have a 96 993 and the clutch pedal is becoming intolerably fierce to deploy, I've noticed this over the last week or so more than ever, when i bought the car 5K miles ago it was ok and the previous owner told me that the clutch had been replaced.......cheaply, by a specialist firm that doesn't have the greatest reputation but he thought it was OK.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Ladies and Gents I have a 96 993 and the clutch pedal is becoming intolerably fierce to deploy, I've noticed this over the last week or so more than ever, when i bought the car 5K miles ago it was ok and the previous owner told me that the clutch had been replaced.......cheaply, by a specialist firm that doesn't have the greatest reputation but he thought it was OK. Any Ideas what the problem could be? Migration info. Legacy thread was 18879

POST 2Original post

Could be the clutch is worn (or the releasing bearing or something like that), or problem with slave or master cylinder. Get it looked at by someone reputable like JZ who's not too far from you. Migration info. Legacy thread was 18880

POST 3Original post

RS Clutch and flywheel time :wink: Migration info. Legacy thread was 18881

POST 4Original post

Yeh, I want one too, may be my clutch is getting heavier by the minute...I'm sure it'll slip if I try hard enough..... Migration info. Legacy thread was 18898

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah I'm thinking that's gonna be the case, My old 964 had a RS conversion...............given that the 993 is slightly more refined than a 964 does this conversion make is less so.........Poon, your obviously a fan what's the story? Ash Migration info. Legacy thread was 18899

POST 6Original post

Sounds like the clutch, as mine started feeling that way before beginning to slip. New clutch now fitted and back to a much lighter clutch pedal. The clutch & RS flywheel option is an interesting decision you will have to make. In the end I stayed with the original setup as the thought of all the noise coiming into the cabin when you are stuck in traffic did not appeal. postamble(); Migration info. Legacy thread was 19034
