OK kjc2050 and thanks for the reply. Again, looking through all the Porsche invoices I have found one for a complete clutch renewal at 34,000 miles. Seems very low miles for a new clutch so I am thinking that maybe it's first 3 years of life were probably hard driven miles. That clutch, as far as I am aware is still in the car now so it has covered approx 40k which again is not much. A short drive is ok but anything over an hour is quite tiring on the left leg and if I jump in my Civic not long after I almost push the clutch pedal through the floor !!. I am convinced something is amiss with the clutch so it would probably be best to book it into a clutch centre for investigation. I did contact the seller re this problem but his reply was: myself, my brother and a Porsche mechanic have driven this car and we have never experienced the probs you mention, but there again, he would say that, wouldn't he. Love the car though, had a 2.7 version some years ago but it was not the same animal, too underpowered for what it was. Clutch was ok though !. Will post more after clutch examination. Regards.
