The throttle pedal sticks when applying pressure. It's fine for regular driving, but at the track I lose the critical smoothness needed. The pedal sticks when applying gentle pressure and then gives way quickly as more pressure is applied. I'm looking for a smooth response to smooth pressure input from my foot. Any ideas? Should I replace the acuator unit or is there an easier/cheaper way? Thanks, John

996 C4 brake pads
Soundpilot replied to Soundpilot's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
R/Tom Thanks again. I'll clean up the vibration pads and sue the adhesive you recommended. When I took the brake pads off the vibration pads were not stuck to the brake pads. I guess the glue melts after a while. No corrossion on the vibration pads. I'm going to leave the rotors for now. Planning on buying a dedicated track car so the Porsche will get a break. Thanks for your help. John -
996 C4 brake pads
Soundpilot replied to Soundpilot's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Thanks R/Tom. I took the pads back today and I'll order online through Pelican. Do I need to replce those vibration dampers or can I use the old ones? Also the rotors do have a small lip and tiny cracks (less than 1mm) at some of the drilled holes. Do you think I need new rotors? only 30,000 miles on the car but it gets track time HPDE. Appreciate your help. John -
I bought Textar T4128 front brake pads for my 996 C4 (not the S). They are larger than the ones I took off. I did some research and I think they are for the 996 Turbo or 4S. Can anyone confirm that? Will they work on my stock 996 C4? Will they be better than the originals? Thanks, John
