Ever since I got my 997 it has had clutch judder. Its only very mild and if you control the revs and operate the clutch smoothly its hardly noticeable at all.

I know what causes clutch judder and I know from experience that on other cars it can be tolerated until its time to change the clutch - or when it gets worse.

But with the 997 I am wondering. I just noticed today that deceleration while in gear transmits the judder to the gear shift lever. Its not visible but the pulses can be felt if you place a fingertip on the lever. Can't be felt if holding the lever firmly.

My Q is can I leave this problem to await a new clutch or cure when it gets worse or am I risking excess wear on the drive train or inviting the dreaded RMS failure by doing nothing (for the moment).

 

I would have that looked at. What are the miles on the car? It could be a motor or trans mount.
