964 Gearchange problem
Discussion
I have had on occasion a problem with the gear change on my 964.
The problem was that when changing gear it was as if the clutch pedal had not been depressed fully and the gears were not changing cleanly, and when pulling up to a junction I could not select first gear.
This does not happen on day to day short journeys, but has occured when out for a spirited country road drive with lots of gear changes happening.
I suspect it is a problem with the clutch master or slave cylinder rather than the clutch itself.
I know there are some very knowledgable people on here, could any one offer an insight into the problem from my vague description?
Cheers

Before you start taking things apart just check the clutch pin. I had a very similar sounding issue on mine.
The AA made a right pigs ear of it after I called them to check it was Ok to drive on a long journey. They tried to bleed the clutch at the road side. After 8 hours of farting around they told me oit was most likely the Master Cylinder and had it recovered to my Indie (Northway Porsche) 12 hours from the initial call to them.
Had a phone call from Northway 9am the next morning telling me it was all sorted a new clutch pin was fitted and the bill was £25.99. £25 of that was for the re bleeding of the system which wasn’t necessary in the first place!
