Lucia, I always hate to correct someone because I don't want to hurt any feelings but the Carrera and the TT clutch hydraulic system is really different.... If you are a subscriber to Renntech I have made a DIY long time ago ;-) http://www.renntech.org/forums/tutor...r-replacement/

911MTB is infamous around these parts
Update: So I topped the clutch reservoir up with Pentosin. I pumped the clutch until pedal feel returned to normal. I put the car on jack stands and searched underneath for leaks but I couldn't find any. I let the car sit for a few days, the clutch felt "almost" normal so I pumped it again to build pressure. I let the car sit for over a week and the clutch held pressure and feels normal. I put the car back down, let it sit for another week, clutch still felt normal. I have now driven the car a few times and everything seems perfectly fine. I have checked the reservoir and the fluid level is good, no sign of leaks and shifting is normal. Baffled.

I appreciate the input! Seems to be a thing with the 996 articles that people are starting to point out. I will have our tech guys review and adjust accordingly.

if everything seems normal, do not worry, just keep an eye on it, if you dont see any wet spots around tank, slave. floor. keep on driving and enjoy the car.
