New to 911 Clutch question
Please have mercy on me, I am new to owning a 911.
I purchased a used 2009 997.2 with 22,500 miles last Feb. after recently selling my BMW 530 (also manual transmission) on which I put 173K miles on the original clutch. I am confident that I can drive a manual transmission properly.
Just brought my car in for an Oil service ($380) where they changed oil and flushed and changed brake fluid. The told me that my car's clutch needs to be replaced. They stated "Clutch is slipping and releasing high." Their estimate for replacement was $2054 + tax.
The car currently has 26,853 miles on it. Most of the miles I have put on the car have been highway miles. Is it possible the dealership is scamming me? How can I tell. The Porsche clutch is different than the BMW clutch but seems to function just fine.
I look to the combined knowledge of this forum for guidance.
