I'm a new member on the forum, and I must say a lot great info and support here!!
I recently purchased a Porsche 997.1 TT model 2007 (manual) and I am really happy, BUT I have a feeling
that the previous owner may have changed the clutch setup. Basically the clutch feels a little bit stiff and
also the clutch pedal engages in a higher position (maybe this is a common thing for these cars), sometimes it
gets quite tricky trying to start with 1st gear without it stalling once and a while.
So I am now researching on which parts to go with as to change my clutch setup (something slighty better than OEM)
and I would appreciate any advice.

Below are a few pointers that may help:
1. I will continue to use my OEM hydraulic slave (not swapping to BBi, GT2 etc)
2. I will not be upgrading to anymore HP (keeping HP stock)
3. I use the car as a daily driver, no track usage at all.
4. And last I would like the clutch pedal to engage at a lower position if possible.

Please let me know your thoughts, Thanks in advance.


Kind Regards
Nick

 

If the hydraulic assist is still intact then you prob wouldn't feel a stiffer pedal. I have a hard time telling that I have an aftermarket clutch on mine. Also, the pedal is normally pretty high up. You can use this to help you if you want to retain the hydraulics.
