My local Porsche Centre has fitted a new gearbox, a new clutch plate and a pressure plate, but the noise won't go away.

Suggestion · Original poster

Ever since I bought my dream car, an 02 plate Porsche Carrera 4S Coupe a few months ago, I am constantly hearing a mysterious 'clunk' noise whenever I release the clutch after changing the gear ( sometimes just by pressing the clutch on the move).

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ever since I bought my dream car, an 02 plate Porsche Carrera 4S Coupe a few months ago, I am constantly hearing a mysterious 'clunk' noise whenever I release the clutch after changing the gear ( sometimes just by pressing the clutch on the move). My local Porsche Centre has fitted a new gearbox, a new clutch plate and a pressure plate, but the noise won't go away. Although my car is booked in for yet another inspection, I am beginning to lose faith in my local Porsche Centre. What is causing this noise and how can it be cured? Has anyone encountered similar problems? Lastly, I would like to know if it is possible to ask technicians from the Porsche headquarters to check what the problem is.

POST 2Original post

Sounds very similar to the problem I had several years ago on my C2 - traced to the dual mass flywheel which had failed to the extent that whiplash was occuring within the transmission system. Not covered by warranty I was told, and they cost about £600 plus labour to fit.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Finally someone know what i am talking about!! Thanks so much. What exact parts did you need? Did it cure the problem completely? Sorry to bother u so much...
