CB993

Hello from a new owner of a 96 Targa. Was lucky enough to find a black on black targa with 19 years of single ownership and a stack of records indicating pride of ownership. Car has 95k and recently completed a 90k service with all the appropriate stuff, wires etc.

About 2k miles ago the PO replaced the clutch at a local shop. All seems to be well but from time to time I feel like what I can only describe as "an unwinding spring" in the pedal box area. Wondering if it has anything to do with the clutch, maybe needs to have a break in adjustment?

Looking forward to meeting up with some of the Portland crowd when the weather breaks….July?

I'm troubleshooting something similar. Can you give some more detail on the sound or feel? When does it happen? How exactly can you reproduce it?

usually highway speeds, around 50-60mph. I can't seem to reproduce it, just seems to be random. Has happened 3 times. The first two within a couple of minutes. The last time was after a driving around for a couple of days. Just seems random.

There is a spring in the pedal cluster that can get noisy (Porsche calls it the "clutch power spring" - Part # 964 423 551 02). Mine usually squeals when the weather turns cold. I just spray a little lithium grease on it and it's good for another year.

I agree with this. I'd lube the spring as an easy next step. This should help guide you. http://www.pcarworkshop.com/index.php/993_-_Lubing_the_clutch_pedal_mechanism

By the way, where are the pics of this new Targa?!?!

Makes sense. I'll give it a shot. Pic's on the way!
