Clutch failure

[fido]

just about to go for my Saturday morning run, and noticed the chutch pedal has dissappeared into the footwell. b8gger. fine when i left it on Friday, but now no clutch. anything recognise this on a 944/968 - is it more likely to be the master or slave cylinder? i can't see any fluids under the car, but wll have another nosey.

this car just doesn't want me to go away on Bank Holidays

Same thing happened to me a couple of years ago on my old 944. Turned out to be the slave cylinder and on first inspection I couldn't see any fluid either.

Cheers. I had a feeling it was the slave - oh well it's first time on the back of a flatbed truck.

My 964RS arrived at the Harewood event with no clutch for the last half a mile.

Dave from Strasse had a look, and found that the pin locating the clutch pedal to the shaft had come out --- so the pedal wasn't doing anything.

Mended in situ, with a screwdriver and, I kid you not, a lump hammer.

The strange thing was that prior to this I had a sliding metallic noise in fast corners that I could not get to the bottom of --- now I don't !

So maybe it had fallen out some time before --- and the pedal just worked loose ?
