Cayman S - Springy Clutch Pedal
Discussion
Before i speak with the Stealer who will no doubt try and fob me off with the mandatory "it's a Porsche thing" excuse, i wondered whether anyone had experienced the following - basically i lift the clutch up and its enough to change gear; then 0.5second later the rest of the travel in the clutch pedal springs up (quite abruptly sometimes). At first i thought it was the floor mat getting caught so let it go, but it's definitely not. Has anyone else experienced this and what did you do about it?
Cheers.

Nope, absolutely not. It sounds rather broken.
However, a few weeks / 1400 miles into ownership (waaaaaaaay back in v.early 2006) I had something slightly similar with the pedal, also had difficulty engaging first (particularly when hot).
I called my OPC, was asked to bring it in, they told me the clutch was foobar'd and would be replaced under warranty (and then gave me an identical car until mine was ready).
My OPC was very professional, courteous and dealt with the situation as well as I wanted. (Porche GB wasn't too hot in supplying them with the part, but that wasn't the OPC's fault.)
PS. They later told me it was traced to a problem with incorrect torque settings on assembly of the component.

Not sure if it's the same problem, but on my 996 the clutch pedal occasionaly stuck near the top for less than a second before flicking to fully up. By then the clutch was full engaged, so it was just slightly irritating. After I took my car into local indy for other issues, it came back fixed and I haven't had it occur again.
Hard to describe, but it was just a flick right at the end, I lifted by foot up and the pedal would stop near the top, then flick into the bottom of my foot like the pedal got caught on something.
ETA maybe it was just caught on the carpet or something in my case.
