I'm not sure I understood correctly, however, if bleeding the lines again restored some clutch function, then it could just be residual air in the system. How many miles on the clutch? If you re-bleed it and keep working the excess air out and there is no improvement, you may have a secondary clutch issue. If you replaced both the master and slave cylinder there could be a good amount of air in the line.

DG doesn't sound like the hydraulics are working at all. I don't have enough experience with the boxster system to help, hopefully someone who has replaced their clutch will chime in.

im guessing at this point it might be more like the bearings might be bad i can hear the creaking of the slave either moving or trying to move the lever but for what ever reason the clutch is not engaging

Hi Mike,

I own a 4 year old female Boxer, and her name is Mollie.

Can someone get rid of this spammer?
Can you also make it harder for them to join the forum and post crap like this in the middle of all these threads?

BC.
