Ideas? Sticking clutch pedal only when braking heavily

Nothing against Pelican as they are tremendously valuable, and I source them for almost everything I do.
Up always worked for me.

Thanks. I’ve also read and seen videos doing the clutch bleed both ways. Because I’ll be doing a pressure bleed, pedal up seems most intuitive to me also.

Ran smack into the Holidays and they stopped my 986 work like running into a wall. Got back to it today, lifted the car and discovered I have a torn left CV transaxle boot. Must have just happened. Replaced the front plastic “air guides” that keep the radiator heat from the front brakes and called it a day with a refreshing adult beverage.

I’ll update as soon as I have her back on the ground, but it will be a while (.5 quart sump extension, oil pump extension, sump baffle, underbody plastic repair, CV boot replacement, brake fluid purge and bleed).

That is a slick hydraulic lift. Where did you get that ?
I need one of those

Thanks, it’s a QuickJack 7000. There are 6 models now, with ratings from 3,500 to 7,000 lbs. I went for the 7000 because I also use it to lift my Explo Sport. Just google for their website. I think Pelican sells them also.

IIRC, the maximum lift for a Boxster is at least a couple of inches short to drop the engine, but for everything else it’s been great for me.

That's easy enough to fix. Make a couple of small ramps that are the extra height you need, drive the car up on the ramps. Get an extra set of rubber blocks for the QuickJack and add them and you are good to go!
