adg, what dealer in the Chicago area told you this? Plese advise. Thanks.

Here is what I found on the PCA site:

"The first thing that has to be determined is the location from which the squeak is emitting. One would either be at the clutch pedal itself from the inside of the car or from the rear outside of the car. Either one of these have nothing in common for the repair short of they are for the clutch operation as a whole.

Should the squeak be found inside the car at the pedal then it would be corrected there. This would include either a simple re-lubrication of all the pivoting points or replacement of the pedal.

Now if the squeak is found to be coming from the rear outside area the transmission, most likely it will have to be removed. The only time it would not is if the squeak was do to a lack of lubrication from where the slave comes in contact with the release arm. This could be corrected by the removal of the slave and proper lubrication applied to the end of the release arm and its reinstallation.
Should the transmission have to be removed then it would be suggested to replace the release arm and bearing. These parts are also to be lubricated at all siding and pivoting points. However at no time on the face of the release bearing, this could be expelled onto the clutch itself. The input shaft should also get a small amount applied to the splines. This keeps them from rusting and the clutch from sticking.

These guidelines apply to all Porsche regardless of the year or model. I have always done this with all the Porsches and have not had any problems with squeaks or stiffening of the clutches. Porsche recommends Olista Longtime 3EP grease to be used part number 000 043 024 00. Scott Slauson - PCA WebSite - 2/19/2005"
