2008 997 Turbo, 21K miles.

OK, so my clutch pedal goes to the floor, and I have to pull it out with my toe. This happened with no warning. Fluid levels (brake and hydraulic) look OK (any fluid check I missed?). Don't see any leaks under the car. Not a mechanic, though.

I want to take it in to get the GT2 conversion - but can I drive it (~20 min) to the shop like this, pulling the pedal out after each shift, staying in 3rd, etc.?

Anyone done this? Don't want to flatbed it if I can avoid it.

Thanks much,
Chris

Hi SNC,

my slave is also likely failing. How heavy is the clutch after the GT2 conversion?

Is it lighter than than the GT3 and GT2? I am confused when you say yours feels heavier than the GT3RS. GT3's usually have pretty heavy clutch pedals.

Thanks.

 

Just had slave cylinder go on my 07. My Fidelity extended warranty won't cover anything to do with clutch so I am stuck with a 1700 repair. Plus new tires.

 

So is it fair to assume if i drove a stock GT2 - the clutch feel is what i would be looking at on my Turbo with the change to the GT2 slave kit? There is one at a local dealership that i may drive if they'll let me.

I am considering this mod as mine is starting to fail, but i want to see what i am signing up for before making the final decision.

 

I also did the GT2 conversion in conjunction with the Sachs 2.5 performance clutch. Sort of a pre-emotive strike before a failure. I love the stiffer pedal and very predictable clutch uptake. I highly recommend this upgrade.

 

How difficult is it in stop and go traffic?

My worry is that with the upgraded clutch and the GT2 conversion, that it will be a bit of a bear in stop and go traffic leading me to not drive the car as much.

 

I don't do a lot of stop and go driving in traffic, but when I have been in that situation the stiffer clutch hasn't been an issue for me. My left leg did not get fatigued. I wouldn't let that concern change your mind about the upgrade.

 

Great info - thank you!

I am hoping to take a short drive in a GT2 from a local dealership so i can have a bit of a basis to make a decision. I just don't want to spend the money and regret it... sounds like most are very happy with the upgrade.

 

Glad to help. Good luck with your decision!
