Default I Smell Clutch

So lately everytime I get put of the car I smell clutch but thats not the only thing, i feel the car less responsive when movin slowly and higher rpms which is usually when a clutch is worn or burnt, car has 13k miles and i have tracked it about 5 times last time at sebring and after that track day I noticed it started to happen.

has anyone had issues with clutch on the GT3

Which car do you own? I'd be impressed if you were able to put 13k miles on a 991 GT3 already (the forum in which you posted)

Perhaps a 911R?

I'm not sure he's saying it's a manual.

Oh, good point! Didn't think the wet clutches in the PDK would have a smell...

Its 991.1 GT3 but the friction point seems to be different thatn normal as I said, going out of parking or ove just a bit would give me high rps and no movement bjt then you get out of the car and it smells like clutch.

Sorry for confusing the issue. This sounds like a possible PDK replacement, unfortunately. I think Porsche rarely fixes these, in favor of replacement (which could be better for you under warranty)
