Clutch Vibration Problem
paul.c.green replied to skate's topic in 997-1 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 2S, Carrera 4S)
hi all I purchased a 997 4s - 2006 model from a porsche dealer with 26k miles on the clock. When i first picked up the car i did not notice any clutch shudder - 1000 miles later and it has changed. The shudder is in 1st gear only when pulling away with low revs - i noticed today the shudder is worse when pulling away on an incline, again with low revs. If I give it higher revs 1500 / 2000 the problem goes away. The porsche dealer come up with me on a test drive and advised me the revs were too low and on a 911 you need to give it higher revs - he advised this is a common issue. To make it worse of course I live in London, as you can imagine I am in first a lot ! So couple of questions: - Should I expect this type of change in clutch shudder in 1000 miles ? - is this common on the 997 4s ? - If the dealer does not acknowledge the problem (apart from saying this is normal) how would you proceed ? Maybe 2nd opinion from another dealer ? I do have 2yr used warranty but not sure if this would be covered under warranty .. Any advice gratefully appreciated. But boy do i love the car apart from this annoying issue. Thanks.
