Conversation Between Borg and johnwb

Hi Borg,
Sorry to hear you have the irritating creaking noise. We're going back a few years so I'll do my best to remember what we did.

As I recall, the noise was most pronounced when the car was hot.

My mechanic told me that there is a fitting in the clutch linkage (might be two of them) that is essentially a ball and socket joint. I guess the ball gets warn and develops a bit of a burr. What they did was to remove it, sand it smooth and grease it. That seemed to take care of the issue.

The good news is this fitting is external so it's fairly easy to get to.

I no longer own the car so I can't tell you how things held up.

I hope this help you!

John

Hi, I found one of your old threads thats applied to me and figuared I'd ask if you knew or could point me in the right direction. I just bought a 997.2 C2S Manual, and I have verbatum the same creak noise you had. I can actually make it do it if I slip the clutch a little. Did you ever fix it or find out exactly what it is? Nobody can figuare it out. Two porsche specialists and the dealership have driven and heard the noise and can't help me. I work on this car myself so I'm capable...I have no idea besides changing the clutch out completely. Even that I don't know because my clutch still works great and grabs near the floor.

Any info would help.
