boxster s stalling and hard clutch


Recommended Posts

I have a boxster S year 2000 with 41000 miles on it. My problem is I feel the clutch is hard to hold down when stopped. I am resorting to putting it in neutral and keeping my foot off the cluch at lights or in traffic which saves my leg and prevents lazy foot slipping the clutch. I dont get any other issues with slipping or noises and Im not ready yet to get a new clutch. It also tends to stall because of the pressure on the pedal to hold it down....would bleeding the system help this? This was a porsche certified used car 3 years ago at ~34000 I've had it a year now. Thanks

loren is exactly right. You need a new clutch. As you wear it down the clutch becomes more difficult to push. This happened with mine as well. Clutch's tend to last around 30-50K miles depending on driving

I will try to bleed it maybe do the brakes as well with the power bleeder. I have new brake pads but apparently no new clutch. Then if I need a clutch my options seem to be a dealer or weekend project for my son and I.

I saw the sachs clutch and the porsche clutch and some guy on you tube about a kevlar clutch seems like a complicated job for the DIY er. Thanks
