Kenny,

Great job on installing the clutch by yourself. I was glad to meet you a month ago after you completed the replacement and compare notes on future repair questions. You are a good resource.

From our conversation you may remember, I love the feel of that new clutch too. It was more "responsive" than my standard clutch. Did you ever figure out why it was "looser-feeling" than the Porsche "my foot is aching" clutch? Love the feel of that clutch pedal whatever you did. Have you determined what "adjustment" to make?

So, for those of you that have done a clutch maybe you can help too. Did you notice an easier pull to the clutch after replacement? Do you know of an adjustment to make to allow for less tension on the pedal itself. Kenny's clutch is like an "easy pull" clutch I had on a dirt bike. It used a "cam" to make the pull easier….is there anything like that for our Boxsters? Sorry to hi-jack thread Kenny, hope you don't mind!

Thanks!
