Clutch pedal issue

[KevsPorsche944]

I was driving and my clutch pedal went all the way to the ground. I pulled it back up and now it wont go down at all. The clutch master and slave were changed out around a year ago. I havent had any clutch or transmission problems either. Any ideas?

You may have popped the clutch pedal linkage out of the clutch MC. Crawl under the dash and check the linkage.

If OK

Go under the car and look at the bellhousing/ clutch inspection hole.

You will see the clutch fork and the slave piston shaft.

Make sure the shaft is in the clutch fork end cup as normal. If it looks OK, get a short pry bar and try to move the clutch fork forward. This will confirm the TO, PP and clutch fork are moving freely as normal.

Also check to see if any brake fluid is leaking inside from the clutch master. See if the carpet is wet. It might have went bad again

there is something in the clutch inspection hole, I think what is apart of the clutch fork ( round metal ball ) Can it be pushed back in or what? I have a pic of it but the camera is with a firend. i found this pic on the internet, the thing you see inside is in the clutch (red dot) is hanging or lodged in the inspection hole U the other red dot is where the two meet), It this caused by a throw out bearing? What gives?


This is not my pic.

I've tried to push it back and the clutch cylinder keeps pushing back. So is this the cylinder or is the fork pulling on the cylinder? The cylinder is fairly new. so is there something internally wrong?

You may have a cracked clutch fork. Some of the autocross members, reinforce the clutch fork with additional welding.

It will not be possible to "push it back together."

This is a pic of my clutch fork (ball) to slave shaft.

The slave piston shaft goes into the fork "ball". When you press the clutch pedal the slave piston extends and pushes the clutch fork forward ----to release the PP (pressure plate) on the flywheel.

Now I know what I need to do. Sooner than I intended. After 3 hit and runs in the last 6 months. Needing to do a timing belt change, and now a clutch issure. Im parting her out. So guys get ready.

Please do further checks.

3 hit and runs ?----tough neighborhood or bad luck where parked??

I happen to live the best neighborhood in Fort Worth. Billionaire Bass Brothers are my neighbors in their $40 million dollar homes.

I love my car. but to get it back into top shape again, Body work and paint will cost me over $5k then timing, clutch, I'm better off buying another one of the same two year modles and take off mine what i want and need and sell the rest.

Well now I see the problem (green=sarcastic BTW)

Your neighbors do not want to see an old Porsche next to the Lanborghinis

They hire hit men to come by and trash your car.

I think you may be right about that. I think my 944 was far better looking and in better shape than my neighbors 911. hmm maybe he did this. I guess im considered white trash in my neighborhood.
