+/-80% for me too ... just turned 64000 miles yesterday.

Mine is towards the top except when I am using it often (heavy traffic) it starts releasing at the bottom. Is this normal? The new clutch only has 10,000 miles on it.

I just replaced the lever cam and now it comes all the way up.
Big improvement.

Is replacing the clutchc lever cam a DIY?

Right in the middle for me -- 43,000 original everything. BTW Robin drove my car and said the C4 clutch was a lot lighter than the C2's. Everyone else have this experience?

Top Half for me. New clutch at 36K (the previous owner liked to ride the clutch)

X2 but I got 52K

Near the top. 58.5 K. Not losing sleep over it, I can make a clutch last a long time.

A well driven manual car will have shift engagements smoother and faster than an automatic can do it. It's like a game for me. It's like dancing while sitting down.

Just had mine replaced after 105,000 miles on the original. This may have lasted a bit longer, but I had all the parts and was on holiday for a couple of weeks, so the 993 would just be sitting on her own anyway.
Apart from being one hell of a lot lighter, the bite point is now lower. I think it's now about half-way or a touch lower. Replaced the slave cylinder at the same time, and my mechanic said the fluid was like tar!

Yep, all you need is some mole grips and some patience. Takes a good half day to do, and you can take out the whole pedal box for easy acces.

Is there any way of changing the bite point? Have had a LWF and clutch fitted which was purchased from a Rennlist sponser and have ended up with a light switch of a clutch (despite explicitly stating that's exactly what I *didn't* want! ) that bites at the top of the pedal travel. I'm getting used to it but don't like it; it requires deliberate "thinking" when starting off and shifting rather than just using instinct, if that makes any sense.

Funny that you say that. When I drove your car I commented that it released high. My former 993 had a new clutch and released low. My new 993 releases at about halfway and when I challenged the PPI mechanic he said the clutch was very strong.

So it sounds like these clutches are all over the place.

It's nice to hear the clutch can last beyond 100k mi. The clutch in my 96 releases all the way to the bottom while the 95 releases in the middle and the 98 releases all the way to the very top.

Is replacing the clutch lever cam the fix? I've been told the pedal can be adjusted. Anyone know of an ajdustment?

Hi Louis,

A wear item in the clutch mechanism is the clutch fork...its the fork that connects to the throwout bearing. When I change a clutch you can see the ends of the fork are often worn a bit since they are shiny, but I don't know how much the wear on this fork affects the throwout distance on the clutch. My guess is a bit but not much. I could not find any checks in the shop manual regarding what to measure to see if its good. To replace the fork requires the transmission be removed from the engine so its a bit of surgery.

I have looked at the pedal assembly and can't see any real adjustments...it looks like the clutch master is directly coupled to the levers. This is without peeking at the real thing though....

Cheers,

Mike

Well, I was hoping to have a relatively easy fix to the problem but then again, the box may have to come out anyway to replace a leaky seal so maybe it can be checked then. I really appreciate your input. You're a class act.
