Been driving my targa for a while now and I can't help but notice the clutch pedal is really heavy when I have to press it to change gear especially when compared to other Porsches I have driven and it is starting to ruin the whole driving experience for me.

It's a real pain as I convinced the girlfriend that it's not going to cost loads to run but I've already spent 1k in 2 months on 4 new tyres and getting small bits fixed.

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.

Afternoon all,
Been driving my targa for a while now and I can't help but notice the clutch pedal is really heavy when I have to press it to change gear especially when compared to other Porsches I have driven and it is starting to ruin the whole driving experience for me.
I'm hoping it's not a sign that I need a new clutch as the car has only done 40k miles from new.
Can anyone shed any light on this or will I have to bite the bullet and get a new clutch fitted ?
Cheers
Toby

Fuchs , it's amazing how quickly you can go off people !!! :wink:
The biting point is about 3-4 inches from the top so I guess it could be time to get the wallet out.
Should a clutch last longer than 40k though or is it a case of how long is a piece of string ?

Sorry about that
I think its a piece of string............if you chose to you could probably make a clutch last 100k miles, but then again you could use one up in 1 hour - :twisted:
if its lasted 40 k then for mixed driving then its probably not so bad.
why dont you get a good specialist to have a look at it - maybe they can make the heavy pedal less so....?
otherwise take you beloved out for a slap up meal , buy her roses and generally be nice, cos if you need a clutch chances are you need a flywheel as well........

It could be worn clutch but it could also be problem with slave/master cylinder. Is the clutch slipping on hard acceleration?
Mine is heavy too and I was told that the clutch is on it's way out, so I was hoping to change to a LWF at the same time. 2 yrs, 10kmiles and 8 track days later it's still the same, a bit heavy but no sign of slipping. And I'm still waiting. If it dosen't let go before I sell it, I'll just pass the cash on to the next owner.

Mick,
When are you going to sell?
Migration info. Legacy thread was 69001
I'll be starting to look for an RS seriously @spring next yr, and sell as soon as I found one. There might be a bit of an overlap but I don't think I'd like it much without a 993 to drive at any one point!

The upside is the car will feel great after new clutch fitted. OPC charged me £1800 (!!) though including RMS change as precaution and flywheel checked.
