Has anyone changed their clutch on a Manual 958…I’m about too.
anyone change theirs?
Long story short, I think the throw out bearing and or pressure plate is toast. That said I have every part in the PET ordered and a Dual mass flywheel. Not leaving anything to chance while it’s on the lift and apart. Even ordered slave cyl and master although I’m 99% it’s not that sadly.
90k miles. Was a Press car for Porsche and then 1 owner. Cars mint so it’s worth it.
Clutch was random sticking and I new something was up. Then on our first long trip from Toronto to Pittsburgh, running in 6th for a while, I had to stop and had Zero pressure. the rod cam’s over the pressure plate that’s defective. I’m sure heat makes it worse. 1-4 is fine although a lil clunk that’s getting worse. 1-5 on hwy was ok, not great.

80K on mine, clutch fine. How hard was it to get the parts? This is a fairly rare car.
