I have just picked up my second gen2 911 and when I press the clutch in it clicks and when I release it it clicks - I never noticed this on the other gen2 911s I had.
Is this faulty?
When you say it clicks, do you mean just once, or is there a series of clicks?
If the latter, this sounds like something which has arisen with earlier 911s. I had it once on a 996. If I remember correctly, your dealer should have access to a Technical Service Bulletin describing how to fix it.
It just involved mechanical parts rubbing. Irritating, but nothing to worry about.
Re: 911 Clutch Clickq
There are 2 switches. One is used to make sure the clutch is down when you start the engine - same drivers tape that as they think it is better to start the engine with some load (less crankshaft wear); this switch's click is the one you are referring to, in all probability. The other switch is used to regulate RPMs and avoid stalling. This is also controversial among many people, i.e., drivers who do know how to launch. It's there, because PAG realized the current majority of manual transmissions do not know how to operate a clutch properly. 
Re: 911 Clutch Clickq
its a microswitch noise (quite quiet) - when you push the clutch all the way down it clicks and then when you release it it clicks agains (same point going up and down it clicks).
I have spoken with someone else who has a gen2 and he has the same noise so it must be normal.

Interesting.... Not sure if it is the same setup on the new 911, but the manual Cayenne also had a micro switch for the drive off assist on the clutch. I suspect this may be the case on 997.2 ?

that was quick!
Re: 911 Clutch Clickq
just spoke with the dealer and they said it is normal - the salesman went into a gen2 car and it did the same - he said it was very quiet but could hear it.... its the microswitch for the starting of the car.
Maybe mine is louder - will check one day when I am down again.... or maybe Im just being hyper sensitive with all the things that went wrong with the last car......
Atleast i know the switch makes a noise for other people to (maybe different levels of noise)

Re: 911 Clutch Clickq
there wasnt major problems just a few probs - will post details in another post later......
moogle - does yours do it all the time or just at startup? mine is really noticable (i.e. everytime i press clutch I get the 2 clicks) and I am thinking maybe it is much louder than normal.

Re: 911 Clutch Clickq
i know what you mean about being sensitive to problems ( had a few on my run about car)....once you hear it then thats all you listen for! maybe get someone in for a ride and see if they notice anything odd (without saying what it is).if not it may me you listening for that particular noise

yeah john I think I am being very sensitive about noises - how loud would people say your microswitch is? I can still hear mine with quite low volume music on.
Uh oh..., if it were I, this situation is starting to sound like _trouble_.
The solution, IMO:
