Clutch engagement binding
Well after 5 weeks I finally got my car back from the Porsche dealership. $4,000.00 Holy sh*t!! I thought I purchased one of their bays. Anyway, while test driving my car today (1988 944 Turbo S) at 5000 or higher rpm's (not redlining), I depressed the clutch and it binded for a split second then it went down normal as if it was binding at the very top or caught on something. I looked around the area but there is nothing for it to bind to, this only happens at high rpms. I know the mechanic had my intake off, could this be a vaccumm problem or a bad slave cylinder. Again it's only at the top that it binds for a second then it goes to the floor as normal. I drove it from California at all different speeds for 3500 miles, so I know it's something that just recently went bad or something he put together wrong or broke. I posted on the 951 board but nobody knew the cause. Thanks in advance, Reno

Dude, You are definitely on the wrong board! 944/951 are nothing like 928s. Ck the clutch pivot pin to make sure it's secure in the bellhousing and not coming out.Good luck!
