Help! Clutch pedal waaay too stiff. Makes the car not fun.

[aBsOlUt]

I am pretty positive something has been wrong since I got her back in February 2006. Most of the times I thought it was me but I didnt believe I could be such a bad driver.

I drove my brothers TT and the clutch was phenomenal. I got a Cayman for a day when I gave my Box for service and wow what a clutch there. Smooth, easy to press and release and I never had a problem.

My box's pedal is so stiff that it makes me not to want to drive her. I have taken it to the stealership 3 times now and they always confirm my clutch is fine and the gear linkages good.

I dislike it, problem is I am sure its my car, because sometimes in the cold it gets better. At warm temperatures its just becomes a hassle. One day I was driving on the highway for about 1h and 15min 6th gear enganged all the way. I guess it got cold or something and after I started downshifting the changes and the pedel itself felt amazing.

One thing to notice - if anyone can help here -, yesterday I was analyzing the problem while I was driving and I ended up pressing the clutch pedal a bit but NOT enough to disengage the current gear. Just a little bit. I could feel a huge vibration coming all the way to my feet from within the pedal. It was TOO much and sometimes I feel this is related to my bad clutch pedal or bad clutch overal.

Help?

Hi,

When was the last time you changed the Brake/Clutch Fluid?...

I just had about 4 weeks ago the 15k service. I requested brake fluid change but not clutch fluid, unless they did it. Would be better if I get more involved about what they do with my car. However, they did provide a huge list of things they changed on the 15k service with an official signature of a techinician.

Should I tell them to change the fluid? Why do I see a significant difference based on weather?

Thanks alot of your response!

The clutch and brakes share the same reservoir.

If your car is under warranty, take it back to the dealer and compare yours to a similar car. If yours is harder to push make them fix it.
