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.
0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Not being particularly mechanically inclined, I post this at risk of some embarrassment, as the answer may be obvious to most of you. I have a 2000 996. When I accelerate somewhat hard out of a stop while letting up on the clutch pedal, I am just starting to get a short squeal or screech, apparently from the clutch. Can someone tell me what this is, and do I need clutch work or something else? Thanks!
It's the throw out bearing. Time for a clutch job. It's only been 20 years.
Not wanting to inflict more financial pain, the ‘while you’re in there’ natural is the IMS bearing if it hasn’t been done. Better to spend the extra for the gear now than to add the trans R & R at a later time, or worse, damage the engine because you didn’t do it when the opportunity was there.
