Default Clutch grabby in the heat?

About 30C here yesterday and after a few minutes of in town traffic/stop lights ect............clutch seemed to get grabby/difficult to engage smoothly. After a short highway run all felt normal again.

Is that typical of these cars?

Hmmm.......might be the beginning of a clutch issue. Clutch feels a bit "juttery" now.

If you do it yourself you are right at the tip of the slippery slope

Yup
Sometimes its Cheaper to have someone else do it lol
They just do what you pay them to do. You will definitely slide down the slope
But definitely replace the fork and cross shaft bushings
See?? It started already

Does the clutch feel tighter than before ? It might be time for a new clutch.

Seems to be the same as before. And with that said I've never sat in a 911 before let alone driven one.......so with no frame of reference clutch could be at its end.
