Clutch pedal drops to floor and stays there....

Hello folks,

my '01 has been hiding in its garage for a few months now and just whining to go out and play. I heard the calling and decided for a nice weekend drive. Jumped in the car and stepped on the clutch that promptly dropped to the floor. WHAT!!!!!!!!!...After a bunch of choice words and some pumping of the pedal, the clutch seemed to come back to life and off we went. The clutch still seems a bit out of adjustment as it doesn't really start to engage until it is depressed an inch or two, but all in all the car runs great after that. There are no leaks on the floor and the issue has occurred twice now....

Any suggestions?

You need a clutch master cylinder. The seals have worn out.

Try Bleeding the Clutch. I had this problem and it turneed out to be the slave cylinder not the master cylinder.

Not necessarily - 996TT has a much different clutch system than a 996 or 997.

He should check his accumulator. The accumulator test can be found here in the 996TT section.

I am afraid you got this infamous slave actuator failure..... Start the bleeding process first but the weak link on a turbo is the slave. If you do a search you will found numerous thread on this frustrating subject... To do the job of replacing the slave is about 3 hours and the cost of the parts :

996-314-166-00 accumulator: $145.61

996-116-237-52 slave cylinder: $444.25

Parts are cheaper from Sunset... Check the condition of the clutch fork....
