Clutch stiffness

[porschestuff]

Hi,

Could anyone advise whether the clutch on the manual 996's are heavy and as easy to stall on the boxster?

I found that my boxster needed a good amount of revs and stop go traffic in town was a bit of a chore to drive.

Is the clutch action on the 996 any better?

Thanks in advance.

I have owned a Boxster S and now a 996 TT.

I never found too much of a problem with the Boxster it has to be said. Saying that the clutch was always 'sharp' with a stiffish spring giving rise to not much feel. It did have a smooth action though. In my car it was very easy to pull off with little revs which i always tried to do in order to save the clutch. The Turbo is much the same, albeit it is a power assisted clutch as far as i'm aware.

You didnt have trouble with your clutch release bearing did you which would make it very stiff and binding, thus making it difficult to control?? This would then give you ball ache in traffic big time.......

Thanks, I always felt the clutch was naturally heavy, but maybe your right.

Thanks for the info
