New parts...NEW CAR!
Hey everybody...Im just Friken thrilled with my 944!. Since I have owned the car the clutch worked just fine (Or so I thought) until it went to the floor a few days ago. I could bring the pedal back up with my foot and the clutch would seem fine until it went to the floor again.
Well....I took it into the shop and they replaced the Slave and the master cylinder at a cost of $430.00. I went to pick up the car and I was shocked at how well it ran and also how stiff the clutch is now. I asked the mechanic about the stiffness and he said that is how it's supposed to feel. But what really blows my mind is how smooth the car is now. No more bucking at low speeds, takes off the line better. I swear it feels like a new car. Hell I never knew.
Anyway...just thought I would share that with you all. Yes Im thrilled and a bit excited. Owned the car for 2 years and I never knew. LOL!!!!!
Have a good weekend everybody.....Im going for a drive!

Had my clutch by an experienced Porsche tech last month - it drives so much smoother!. Never underestimate the importance of small repairs and adjustments to make a high performance sports car run better
