boxster s stalling and hard clutch

[pgboxters]

I have a boxster S year 2000 with 41000 miles on it. My problem is I feel the clutch is hard to hold down when stopped. I am resorting to putting it in neutral and keeping my foot off the cluch at lights or in traffic which saves my leg and prevents lazy foot slipping the clutch. I dont get any other issues with slipping or noises and Im not ready yet to get a new clutch. It also tends to stall because of the pressure on the pedal to hold it down....would bleeding the system help this? This was a porsche certified used car 3 years ago at ~34000 I've had it a year now. Thanks

If the clutch pedal feels hard chances are the clutch disk is worn down to the rivets.

You can try bleeding but if that does not help you will likely need a new clutch.

loren is exactly right. You need a new clutch. As you wear it down the clutch becomes more difficult to push. This happened with mine as well. Clutch's tend to last around 30-50K miles depending on driving

I will try to bleed it maybe do the brakes as well with the power bleeder. I have new brake pads but apparently no new clutch. Then if I need a clutch my options seem to be a dealer or weekend project for my son and I.

I saw the sachs clutch and the porsche clutch and some guy on you tube about a kevlar clutch seems like a complicated job for the DIY er. Thanks
