Newbie SC Clutch question
Owned my 82 SC for 3 years with no issues. Since new the clutch has been hard to get acustom to since it seems to be either in or out. Pulling away from a stop sign on a hill takes some practice. Maint records show the original clutch has been replaced. Had a friend drive it and warned him about the clutch before the drive. upon returning he said I don't think it's the clutch but more the clutch return spring. After i thought about it he was right. When releasing the clutch about half way up with the pedal it seems like another spring kicks in and forces your foot up. Sound familiar? normal? Can't say I have torn into a Porsche clutch and didn't find any threads that gave me direction. Comments? Thanks KW

There is an omega spring at the end of the clutch arm under the transmisison. Look at that and see if it has broken. There is also another spring at the pedal box. you can inspect that too.

If you can get under there and take a picture of that omega spring and post it here, guys could chip in to make sure it is set properly. If you have Wayne's 101 projects for your 911, it explains pretty good how to adjust the clutch. These clutches are very different when adjusted properly. Good luck
