Well if it is that thingie ie when u depress clutch and it pushes that rod type flathead(like a syringe) the clutch pedal(at least on the 6) has an appendage that depresses it. Try sticking on a spacer of some sort and see when u depress clutch if it starts rt up. U mentioned it starts so it's possible the flathead rod is not pushed all the way in so it maybe the alignment of the clutch pedal and not the clutch switch. Mike

yes your right, its that rod type flat head that the clutch depresses, i also had mine replaced, and i dont know why porsche people cal it a sensor,

If so many people are having the same issue then why isn't this a recall issue? Porsche of NA should send a recall for all these car, wouldn't you guys agree?

The same thing has happened on my Cayman R a couple of times.

This is apparently a rampant problem that permeates throughout the entire Porsche lineup spanning several years. I had the exact same problem on my spyder with only 6k miles, and the clutch switch was replaced under warranty. In fact, the service advisor I talked to on the phone knew what the problem was after one sentence over the phone and ordered the replacement part without even seeing the car. Also, my friends' 997.1 stranded him at work after the sensor failed. Switch replaced, and it was fine....for now.

Just a cheap microswitch. Remember that everytime you depress the clutch while driving you are mechanically flipping the switch. The ONLY time it matters is when you first start the car. So one time out of 100 it matters. And with so much use, it fails. Here is what I have done for a couple customers so you do NOT get stranded. Install a small switch between the 2 wires on the sensor. Leave the switch off. If sensor fails you can simply flip switch and you are good to go. You are not stranded looking for a tow truck to get you to the dealer. This will also defeat the need to depress the clutch in order to start when the switch is on, so be careful as can start in gear with clutch out. As a "Just In Case" thing though, it has been a lifesaver for some of my customers...

unfortunately for me, it was NOT the clutch switch and it turned out to be the starter. of course it was 2 months after my warranty runs out
