Merlin,
It's a manual. I am not even sure it's from my car but I do have the slave,etc, hanging down on the garage floor under the car. Engine is out.

No part number, so probably not a Porsche spring.

It looks a lot like the springs that go in the Driver's Door change holder......the one that tells you that you closed the door too hard by throwing things at you. Ingenious German Engineering at work again!!!
