Whats with the clutch pedals???

Boxster clutches should not be stiff. Once they are worn or wearing out they get stiff. I've had two nd when the clutch does not need replacing they are easier than 944/968 with new clutches as well as older air cooled 911s. I drive mine 35 miles each way to work in downtownnatlanta with a lot of stop and go traffic. I can't drive 968 to work or my leg is worn out by the time I get there, even with a new clutch. Boxster has ~40k on the clutch and motor since replacement and its still easy. The original clutch had about the same mileage on it and it was still fine. My 97 got stiff around 80k miles and had to be replaced. im not saying tHey are as easy as a 4 cylinder beater, but for a sports car it's amazingly easy to drive in all conditions, IMHO anyway

A 9 year old girl could operate a Boxster's clutch. You want stiff, try driving a Ferrari Daytona or Lamborghini Countach.

My '99 has a new clutch and its actually easier to depress than my 944. I'd hit the leg press if it bothers you that much.

My 2000 S's clutch is smooth and requires little effort. Gotta be the cars you're looking at.

My '99's clutch is smooth and is actually easier to drive than my 2004 Mazdaspeed MX5.
I did, however, test drive a 2000 911 last week and it was the pits....stiff clutch pedal and rough shifts. As the overall car was in rough shape, I took it as neglect and suspect it needed a new clutch (among other things).

My thought, after driving the 911, was I'd never trade my Boxter for a 911. The car was that bad. Keep shopping.

You need a new clutch..... I looked st a 2002, the pedal was stiffer than my M3 so I figured it needed one, got a good deal on the car and went to my mechanic and to another one that serviced the car. They told me the same thing .....it might last 'til spring , maybe.
Put a new one in...smooth and easy to push now and no strange pulsation on the let off.

Expensive, and don't forget the intermediate shaft bearing, also expensive.
