Disabled the clutch switch on my 2006 997.1 Not the clutch must be engaged to start switch but the assembly that look like that above the brake pedal but it had a red, rear housing. I removed it (turn 90 degress CCW, I think it was), tape down the plunger and set it aside. Apparently this switch retards the timing for some brief period when the clutch is depressed.
Unfortunately I didn't bookmark this thread on this but do a search and you'll find it.
Freaking fantastic change. Not more putt-putt-putt pulling away from a stop and much easier to rev match.
Had a few close-to-stalls pulling away at first but quickly adjusted. Wish I would have done it sooner.
WHAT IS THIS...? a new one on me, and i have been looking for some way to smooth out initial start from stop...sometimes its like its my first time in a manual car, what would i search for, clutch switch? wow, need to know...more, bitte,
There are several other threads around. Use google to search for "Porsche 997 remove clutch switch" or clutch delay switch. You'll have to filter out the clutch interlock on start threads.
Cruise control in my 2006 C2S still works. I mention that as you'll see some debate about it.
Tried this and almost stalled with the AC on. I've been debating trying again and giving myself a longer period of time to adjust
I'm guessing I'll stall at some point until I'm used to it. Then again, I stalled this car 2-3 times when I first got it and that hasn't happened for years driving many other manuals.
Attended the PORSCHE CLUB Taiwan event on Wednesday. It was great to go for a drive with about 30 other P-cars! Though I did not continue on with their trip, the overnight location may be one of Taiwan's most scenic spot, Taroko Gorge National Park.
/\ really nice steering wheel... where did you get it from and why are steering wheels so expensive
Dallas custom steering wheels. They wrap the existing wheel. They have cores available so no downtime. Was $500 or so. Depends on options of thumb rests, stripe, thickness.

Its not rocket science! Tutorial online was great. Airbag light is on but thats from my center console. Installed the Function First Shift Right Solution. Didn't know removing the center console would trigger the light.....
Installed the grills for side radiators and the third radiator position (I don't have a third rad). Contact me if you are interested in a set. Also have 997.2 side rad protectors (no third radiator grill yet).
