    HELP! Stuck clutch pedal!

    Hi all. I have a 2007 C4S with around 2400 miles on it, and followed the break-in procedure fairly well (those last 400 miles were SO different). The car (unfortunately) lives in a Manhattan garage, but one that is used to dealing with high end cars (few porsches, Ferrari, Aston etc).

    So the story goes, I took the car to our place in upstate New York last weekend and had some spirited fun on the country back roads. Drove her down the Taconic State Parkway, 120 miles back to Manhattan last Sunday evening.

    I called the garage this morning (Sat) to take her out for a spin while the sun was shining, only to show up and have the attendant say "there is a problem with your car." Yikes! The car is on its hydraulic lift, in reverse but the clutch pedal is stuck depressed all the way to the floor. I was able to get it out of reverse and into neutral (which the nice lady on the phone with Porsche Roadside Assistance said was good as it would make things easier). The car will also start, but no clutch pedal movement. That was about all the experimenting I was willing to do before calling Porsche Roadside.

    Unfortunately Manhattan Motorcars' Service dept is not open until Monday, so I'll have to call Roadside Assistance then and have it brought in on Monday.

    So depressing (pun not entirely intended).

    Any thoughts on what could be wrong? Big deal? Reason to worry?

    Should I be concerned about getting caught between warranty coverage and garage liability?

    Anyone have experience with Manhattan Motorcars' service department (I bought the car out of state)?

    Any and all thoughts and commentary are greatly appreciated. Hopefully you can set my mind at ease as the rest of the weekend will be tough to get through.


    Many thanks,
    Andrew

    Sounds like it could be a problem with the hydraulic cylinder.If that's it, it's no big deal .These things happen.

    But whatever it is, at 2400 mi. it should be covered under warranty. Call road side assistance and ask what your options are.

    Yep, I think that might be it. The same thing happened to me when I had my M3. No worries, these things happen.

    Best of luck

    the master clutch cilinder has been known to get stuck or caught in some 996/997, usually they do a simple replace of the clutch asembly and problem solved.

    Whew!

    Many thanks for the responses. I imagine that could be pretty hairy if it happened while driving!
