Default clutch pedal (want a firmer pedal)

i'm new to my 996tt and the one thing that urks me #%*)@P! is the clutch pedal. what a lame, soft can't feel a thing clutch pedal. I also test drove gt3's before buying the 996tt and that one is overly stiff. i wish porsche could get these both right but i understand that there are products on the market to correct this.

is there a product (actuator, slave...) that would make the clutch pedal feel like a regular 996na? or another way of saying it is have the pedal feel be between the 996tt and the gt3?

Cheers,
Boris

I don't know much about the 996TT's but if the TT clutch is like the naturally asperated 996 clutch assembly, you can remove the helper spring. That will firm up the clutch and probably give you the feel you are wanting. Check out this thread from the 996 Forum.

Boris,

I felt the same way and did a fairly involved 993 GT2 style non -assist conversion, using the slave and master from the euro 993 GT2. Someone recently posted that their accumulator went bad and instead of replacing it - they capped the lines and removed it. The result was better feel with a little more effort. I would explore this, as it would be a very easy way to achieve what you are looking for, if it works. Had I known this myself last year, I would have tried it...Boris, I would look into this - maybe ask Alex/Sharky and see what he says.
