Angus76 Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 I’ve had the intermittent depress clutch flash up before starting even when I’ve depressed the clutch pedal. The clutch switch seems the most likely culprit! it’s pretty cramped under there - ducting in the way etc. Any good methods on how to do it appreciated! Thanks!

Several videos if you search YouTube for '987 clutch switch replacement'. Here's an example 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Daniel Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 I was stuck 100 miles away from home with this problem so bypassed the switch by joining the two wires together....I never replaced the switch, it's really not needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you have cruise control may be? The car will always think the clutch is depresses so will cancel CC. I might be wrong.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong.... Hmmm, the cruise worked ok but I suppose you could have the problem of the engine revs increasing if you depressed the clutch without braking or switching of cruise. I ran like that for years and never had any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Porsche is different I *think* there are 2 switches on the clutch - one at the "top" one at the "bottom" - the bottom one is the "start inhibit" foot flat on the floor - the one at the top is "you breathed on the clutch, time to release cruise" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes perfect sense now I recall others talking about 2 switches. OP just needs to bypass the correct switch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 As stated in my linked thread, hold the pedal down for about 10s and it overrides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
