I find the clutch on the 996tt a bit difficult to modulate as well. I think this can be attributed to a couple things...
- you need to bend your leg to the left (at least I do) to get by the steering wheel
- clutch is light and overassisted
- very direct engadgement point
Once you get used to the car, the clutch becomes much easier to modulate though. The more you drive the car, the more confortable you will get with the clutch and its characteristics.

The latest I got from Porsche is not very encouraging regarding the tranny issues.
What they are doing is asessing each situation accordingly depending on mileage, year of car, stick or tip. They are now authorizing dealers to try and REPAIR the transmissions in lew of being alot cheaper for them to handle this problem.
Personally, I think that is unaceptable ! Yes, the price ranges for the trannies do vary from 10 to 19k. Yeah, but who cares. take care of the issue and keep customer happy. Also, the replacement units, if you are lucky to get one, are REBUILT ONLY.
A friend of mine had his repaired the first time at the dealer as per Porsche . Of course a week later, same problem again. My friend needless to say, has run out of patience with this issue and demanded the owner of the dealership call a Porsche rep to resolve this lunicy.
I will find out today the outcome of the meeting and will post.
