Is the stock clutch pedal really that difficult to press to require a fancy slave cylinder? I like the Porsches hydraulic clutch feel way better than the cable clutch in my old TDI Jetta or the hydraulic clutch in my previous 3series.

It is If you put in the RS clutch setup. take out the dual mass flywheel an install the single mass. I'm just look for a little more smoothness most people who get in and press my clutch say holey **** you almost need two feet. and I replaced everything when I installed the new setup.

Around ~MY92 when Porsche put the RS pressure plate in every 964 they also updated the pedal assembly to what had been used in the turbos.

I didn't know this.. my car is a 1990. Does that mean the later ones are a lighter pedal? Mine is heavy compared to every other car I drive. Not unusable, it just feels "manly"...

Finally got around to installing new FTE slave cylinder and FVD ss line today. Fractured an ankle in December and that slowed down my garage activity for a while. I couldn't believe how bad the old soft line looked when I removed it, must have been original to the car. Could have used a third hand installing and bleeding the slave. Next project after an oil change will be to replace roll pin and bushings in pedal assembly
