Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Car: 2000 996.1 C4 Manual cab. 77,500 miles Background: Just completed an engine-out maintenance. Replaced clutch (Sachs), flywheel (Luk), IMS bearing, AOS, etc. Problem: Had to disconnect line to the clutch slave cylinder to get it mounted. (Did not replace clutch master or slave cylinders.) I tried several clutch bleeding procedures with no luck. I could press the peddle to the floor and the clutch would engage. I could go through the gears successfully (car is on jack stands). However, the clutch peddle would only come up half way. I would need to pull it up the rest of the way. Then I tried the procedure in "101 Projects" and it worked - almost. 1. Connect pressure bleeder. (Used Pentosin DOT 4) 2. Press in and hold clutch peddle to floor. 3. Pump bleeder to 22 psi. 4. Attach bleeder hose to slave cylinder. 5. Open bleeder valve and wait until all bubbles pass. Then close valve. 6. Raise clutch peddle. After closing the slave cylinder bleeder valve the clutch peddle worked properly. I tried the peddle about 10 times and it worked fine. Then I release the pressure on the bleeder tank and tried the peddle again. It would only come up half way! So I repeated the procedure again and had the same results. What should I do next? Different procedure? Could I have a bad master or slave cylinder?

POST 2Original post

I can't add much for your specific problem but I can add a gizmo for easier breaker bleeding. I bought this clutch bleeding extension for my 2005 C2S 997.1. I brought the line up into the engine compartment. Good luck.

Thanks. I'll check it out.
