Hello 986 Forum,

I hVe 1997 base Boxster 5 speed manual. The car has 120K km and appears to have the original clutch. The clutch went out soft and does not engage anymore. I disengaged the clutch by hard push and pull and then disconnected the battery thinking it would reset computer hoping fixing clutch. I then put the car in 3rd gear and started the car while pressing on gas pedal. The clutch seems to be stuck and not engaging or disengaging at all. The car engine turn on without clutch and runs for 20 to 30 seconds misfiring and stalls. Has new coils, spark plugs, air filter, oxygen sensor, and 94 octane gas. Engine was running fine before clutch went out. Please advise.
