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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Went to start the car today (2004 C4S 68K miles) and the clutch stayed on the FLOOR! Then took for test drive and slipping completely. Next step..... should I consider something other than just a STOCK clutch replacement?? Drop the dual mass config?? Open to $$ideas$$ that could save money in the long run. eric

POST 2Original post

The stock clutch is actually pretty good. You should not have to replace the DMF unless it is damaged - 15mm of deflection, or the surface is trashed.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks AFJ. That is good advice and I thank you for the reply. You seem to have the line on these cars and I thank you for your courtesy. eric

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just dropped it off at Rusnak Westlake for the clutch and some additional service. They shot me a fair price and with the fact "the Porsche shop" is behind the repair gives me good piece of mind. Thanks again for your input. Regards, eric
