so i was pulling up to a stop light . i pressed the clutch in and it went all the the way to the floor like there wasnt any pressure . i lifted it with my foot and now it will not go any farther than a inch . i took the line from the clutch master cylinder off and the pedal moved . so i know its not the maste cylinder.

i drove it home rpm matching. what does thi mean?
if the car still drives does it mean my trow out brng is still good?

please help , thank you

You have a bad slave cylinder.

so what are the chances my throw out bearing or clutch fork being broken?

Clutch slave and master cylinders, this happen to me last week.

The one oddball thing is after he pulled the pedal up he can't depress it further than an inch. I agree that either the master or slave might initially failed but lack of pedal travel would be a mechanical issue like a jammed TO bearing, locked up rod at the MC, jammed slave rod, or broken clutch fork. Doesn't sound good no matter how you look at it.

I doubt the fork would break under normal driving circumstances...I have one in my hand and its a pretty significant piece of aluminum. It wouldnt break too easily.

It's your slave cylinder...and while you're in there replace your master. I did it about 3 months ago and my car feels wonderful now

definately replace the cylinders and the hydraulic line between them...

And, if that doesn't work, then get out your wallet.

Step:
1) Remove wallet from pocket
2) Open wallet
3) Find any credit/ATM cards, along with all bills labeled "Federal Reserve Note"
4) Throw into built-in 944 money-pit
5) Add gasoline and match.

does that work for you V2?

I regret not tackling it myself for the $160 for parts. My total for bringing it to a shop added up to just over $1,000. Its obviously a porsche. I guess I also have less than a year on my clutch.

It's remarkable; the car runs perfectly after every time I do this. Sometimes I do it as preventive maintenance you know...hey, I'm reducing weight by getting rid of those pesky $100s.

KuHL 951

That works out to about $300/hour; where did you take it, Trump Porsche? That is absurd unless they charged you $600 in parts...it's a 3.0 hour job even on a 951.

ok , i took it to Tom Charesworth tuesday to be fixed, i just got word today that it was a T.O. bearing.
so $250 and i will have her back in the morning . im just glad i dont have to buy a clutch

thank you guys for the help.

KuHL 951

If they can pull the trans, bellhousing, and replace the TO for $250...someone is smoking crack or it's not your your TO. If you get as far as the TO you might as well do a clutch job. Something isn't right with that quote.

devious944

thats a good price .
