Hello 911 fans! I hope you can help me with an issue I have - I have posted this on the Rennlist forum as well, but I hope you guys will be able to help to:
I have owned my 1994 964 for just over a year, the time has come for some much needed technical advice.
I have been informed by a 911 enthusiast that it “feels” like the clutch is failing. It is not slipping like the clutch on my Mondeo did before it expired, but the only problem I can detect is a creaking when I press the clutch pedal. It is quite heavy nonetheless, but has been like this since I bought the car.
Anyway, it looks like I will have to get the clutch changed; but I am keen to up rate it because I would like to get involved with track days and competitions. What are my options? I do not have the expertise or the knowledge to do this myself, but I want to know what I should be considering.
Also I would like to know how reliable clutches are. My car has 72,000 miles on the clock: surely it cannot be due already?
Any ideas?Thanks. Dave
