I just made it home. I was driving around town. No problems. Then it seemed as though it was getting a little harder to shift. Then, it got to a point where it seemed as though the clutch was out, but the clutch still seemed to disengage the engine from the tranny. I had to put the clutch in and rev the motor to get the car to go into 2nd gear. Luckily, I did not hit any red lights. The tranny is making a lot of noise when I am in gear and I let off the gas. I have never had any problems with the transmission or the clutch. The car has 101,920 miles. This could not have come at a worse time. I don't know what I am going to do. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be?
Thank You

this happened to me the day before my clutch blew rubber chunks all over the garage floor....

Ditto. The clutch on our E24 BMW went the same way. Sounds like it's time for a clutch job.

Wolfe, If yours is like mine, there is an inspection hole to the rear by the firewall behind the starter. wipe the inside of the inspection hole with a rag and look for black chunks and dust, pay attention if there is a rubber smell.

It's not always the miles- rubber ages.

Sorry. I figured out how to add a pic and put my location in, however I don't know how to put it my car type so that it always shows up in the bottom of my posts. Car is a 1987 924S. Guards Red. 5 speed. No sunroof. No rear wiper. Factory forged Fuchs 16" flat wheels. Factory 23mm front bar. Factory 14mm rear bar. Rare factory turbo rear wheel flares/mud guards? And then a lot of stuff I have done to it. I have been a Porsche fan since 1968. Member of the local Porsche club and the local Mercedes-Benz club.
Any help on the car problem would be appreciated. I recently moved my family out here and I am trying to get my real estate career started. So I don't have a lot of $$. I have had the 924 since 1996. I have only put 22,000 miles on it since I bought it.

Can you bleed the system?

Also, I am willing to bet 10-1 odds your springs on the disk are shot.

Anyone else have any ideas? I have had a slight leak in the master or slave cylinder. Not sure which. I have to add brake fluid every 3 weeks or so. If it is a clutch, any ideas on how many $$? Does anyone still make a rubber centered clutch?

Replace the clutch with a newer type- the rubber centered arent available anymore- Check Paragon for pricing.

Hello.. Master/Slave leak..
