Hi All,

The clutch on my 1987 944S has 78,600 miles (126K kilometers) on it and is smooth and doesn't slip. However, every time a potential buyer drives it they whine about how it has a high friction point (take-up point) and the clutch is thus assumedly almost dead.

I'm willing to concede that it's perhaps seen most of its useful life after this mileage, but it still functions perfectly fine, and to be honest I never noticed the pedal height. Maybe it actually DOES have a lot more life left in it...I don't know. Is there any way to adjust the clutch/pedal so that the friction point occurs with the clutch pedal at a lower level?

And: Do you think the clutch definitely IS close to death just because the friction point is a bit higher than average? It's working well right now so I simply don't know...and I don't want to concede this as a bargaining point to lower the price considerably unless it really IS on its way to the grave.

Thanks!

I have a 1988 944S and my clutch also engages high. Thats just the way they are. I have had an old clutch with 100,000 miles and now I have a new clutch and its about the same.

Try shortening the rod between the clutch pedal and the clutch master cylinder. Do a little bit at a time.

It should make the clutch engage at a lower height.
