Clutch Pedal Squeak

I've reviewed the TSBs regarding clutch noise. I think my 2000 996 C4 Cab (built late '99) "should" have the updated parts mentioned in TSB 3005, but I still hear a squeak when I depress the clutch pedal. I applied silicon spray to the clutch master cylindar -- still squeaking. Should I swap out the clutch pedal power assist spring (pn 996 423 081 12)? Is this a doable DIY? Any other parts needed? Special tools? Any other suggestions?

I had my car in the shop to get a replacement key programmed, so I asked them to take a look at the clutch pedal. They "threw some grease on it" and, so far, that seems to have fixed it. They said if it comes back, they'll need to grind down the pedal a bit.

My '99 996 has a clutch pedal squeak too. It drives me crazy! I've taken it to two independent mechanics and neither could do anything for me. Maybe third times the charm?

There are 3 TSBs on this problem on early 996's. Fixes include a new clutch spring assembly, a modification to the clutch pedal arm, and lubrication. A dealer/shop with copies of the TSBs should be able to tell which fixes have been performed and which ones still need to be done.

Hey Loren,

How about some kind of electric relay sound? I hear this "click" as soon as I start depressing the clucth pedal... I always forget to ask when I am at the dealer's...

The click is normal. This is the microswitch on the clutch pedal that keeps you from accidentally starting the car with the car in gear.
