I have a 06 997S with ~40k miles, second owner at 22k miles, and so far apart from the notchiness going from 2nd to 3rd, the gearbox has been awesome.

I had the car parked today at a parking lot, when I started the car, I heard a weird screeching noise from the engine and the car didn't start. I took the key out of the ignition, put it back in and started it again, the car started with no problems.

As I'm backing out I notice the clutch pedal had gotten very heavy and the clutch's "bite" point had changed; I had to disengage more of the clutch to get the car going. Keep in mind everything was fine prior to parking the car.

I drove around a little bit, the "bite" point is a bit better, but still worse than it was before and the clutch still has a very heavy feel.

Did my clutch magically die? Or did the screeching from the engine kill it?

 

Have the slave cylinder checked, it may be leaking.
