Hi all,
On my recently purchased 1995 993 TT, the clutch pedal is extremely heavy before engine is started. But once engine is started, it feels very light.
I remember from my previous 1997 model, it wasn't like that.
Can you help me by telling me if that should be the case? If not, what could be wrong with it?
thanks very much!

Sounds like your clutch booster is going out. A really common 993 TT problem.
Its a hydraulic assisted clutch and should be easier to depress than the GT3 or GT2
clutch. That little accumulator goes bad, then you get the heavy clutch.

The accumulator is attached to the clutch slave cylinder, and is used to retain system pressure when the engine is not running. If clutch functions normally with running engine, but is heavy with engine stopped, the accumulator has failed.

thanks guys!
Where can I find part number? To replace it, do i need any other parts/ clamps/ hoses?
Is there also an accumulator for the ABS? my brake pedal sometimes vibrates when I brake (even gently). It feels like ABS is trying to store pressure.

Finding a wrench to get the accumulator off is a pain, some people grind their open-end wrenches thinner to get it to fit (can't remember the size). An oil filter wrench worked for me. https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ferrerid=28499
