I've had a wide range of manual transmission cars and trucks. Ford van, Pontiac Trans Am, Volkswagen Beetle. Usually what goes is the release/throwout bearing or the pressure plate. I've even had shift linkage break. Normally the clutch plate itself is fine, with minimal wear, but since I'm in there I might as well change it out too. In the case of my Carrera S, I think it was the slave cylinder that failed first and that damaged the bearing. The clutch itself was fine. The pedal feel when it failed was unlike any other car I've had. I was exiting the highway and when I engaged the clutch it was so heavy I had to use my whole body to push the pedal down. When I lifted off the engine revved but the car hardly moved. There was no grinding you would hear from a bearing gone bad. I nursed the car home, the next morning called the tow truck and had it hauled into the dealer for repair. I applaud you all who have long lasting clutches. maybe it's my driving style, but I've always believed the best gear change is one that you or your passenger never feels. Regardless of how easy or hard you are driving. -
Replaced the clutch, release bearing and slave cylinder on my 2007 C2S at 32800. Bought the car new and I am the only driver. Normal city and highway driving daily. I am not sure which part went bad, the mechanic's note stated the bearing and slave cylinder were damaged. Had the clutch set changed since they were in there. I learned to drive on a truck with three on the tree and have been driving manual transmission cars for forty years so I don't think it was user error that caused the problem. Anyway the dealer nailed me for 1400.00 US.

Loren, Thanks. All of the possible causes you noted are beyond my backyard mechanic capabilities so I guess it's a visit to the workshop.

Driving home from work the other day in my 2007 Carrera S and the familiar tone and check engine light came on, with the friendly message to visit my workshop. When I got home and plugged in the code reader I got a P2402 code followed by Pnd Mod 11 and Cnf Mod 11. Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection Pump Control Circuit High. The Renntech code description is Pump motor final stage tank leak diagnosis module. Anyone have experience with this one?
