Is there an easy way to see how much clutch is left? I don't have detailed history on my car, so it may or may not be original.

Are you only the second owner? Try and track down where the car was sold new, maybe its in your owner's manual stamped on the back. Give them a call and ask if they can send you the records. If the last owner had it done out of warranty I'm sure he would have had it done by a dealer anyway. I'm guessing the average Porsche owner, even a used buyer, usually has major work like this done by a dealer and not an independent shop. There aren't that many and most mechanics who don't regularly fix Porsches won't touch them.

Unfortunately the car has had a few different owners, and lived in two different states. When I got the car I saw it had had a couple of it's services at the local Porsche dealer, I went and talked to the service advisor and he said he'd see if he could get me some records. He seemed eager to sell me a warranty... but he stopped returning my calls. Barrier Porsche sucks.

Can't really tell how much is left but you can tell when it's going.
