Hi folks

05 C2s with 58000km on the clock.

Just recently the clutch pedal has started to get a little "stuck" halfway back up in it's travel and it's getting to the stage where I can almost lift my foot off and if it doesn't stay there it will then momentarily spring back up and kick the bottom of my foot.

My local Porsche agent has done some dodgy brake bleeds in the past and another Porsche workshop says this may be air in the clutch system, also the clutch is (with this issue) engaging nearer the bottom of it's travel than normal.

No clutch smells or judder or anything otherwise.

Any ideas/seen this before?

I had your "stuck clutch" problem before. When my problem occurred, it was usually after heavy traffic drive. It went away after I bled the system.

Bleed the system.... it would be a lot cheaper than replacing the clutch.

Hopefully yours is as easy as mine.

OK folks. Problem solved it was the master cylinder which I replaced myself. Not terribly difficult but quite fiddly. I pulled the old slave out but it was fully dry so just slotted it back in - and THAT is a mission.
The master cylinder part num is Master 997 423 171 01
And the latest revision of the slave is 997 116 237 04

For bleeding, use a power bleeder to do the most of it, then follow up with your mate holding the clutch in to do a few "pressure" bleeds to get the last of the air out. (foot down, open nipple, close nipple, foot up, pump for pressure, repeat ad nauseam.)

Good to hear that it wAs a master cylinder and just bleeding. I also use the Power Bleeder. Done right, the Power Bleeder allows for a one-man job and no Mate-pressure-bleeding.

What you did is okay too but should be unnecessary. Good job!
