I have driven many Porsche's including my own Cayman S and noticed one thing that all manual ones have in common: The clutch pedal clicks towards the end of the pedal. I have found no function associated with this clicking. I have been told that this is to start the car but if I hold the clutch pedal just beyond the click, the car does not start until I push it in all the way. I have been curious about this for years and asked many people and noone can seem to give me a real explanation. Any thoughts?

 

Clutch pedal switch most likely for starting.

 

is completely normal....when you drive it makes the same noise.....I ask the dealer....

 

my clutch clicks also.. i thought it was normal

 

Makes the car faster.

 

It is the "clutch switch" - if you don't press that far, the car won't start.

 

Mine clicks too, it's very soft though.

 

Yep. my dealer told me this is normal - start / cruise control switch.

 

yeah I thought it was a problem so I took it in, got it back and did the same thing,, they never even told me it normal..
