When the car is cold i can hear a little noice(like a bearing whithout oil) when pressing down the clutchpedal.When releasing it it dissapears. It also dissapears when car gets warm.
The other thing is all the time, when gently releasing the clutch with the 1 gear sellected it doesnt engage perfectliy smooth. It feels like the clutch varies in engagement. Its pullsating. Like its not perfectly round.
(The same feeling but totally diffrent- When you approaching a stop light and you are braking, when the rotors are uneaven. The deacceleration is pulsating.)

Is this clutch issue normal? Are the clutch and clutchbearing giving up?
Or can i drive along without damaging anything?

Thanks
Dave

Yeah, its probably the throwout bearing, man. Very common. You need clutch work.
Get a Fidanza when you do it - make it worthwhile.

i would also put money on the throwout bearing, my old 944 had the same problem but more severe. for me when id start the car from a stop id have to borderline stalling the car when letting out on the clutch in order for things to engage smoothly and quietly. also had difficulty sometimes shifting and i was told that this was also do to the throwout bearing and it would do more damage to the tranny

If it is the throw out bearing best to do it as soon as possible before you do any damage to the fork, they are not cheap to buy.
