| Description of the problem | This car is a six speed manual transmission. On two occasions after depressing the clutch pedal it has remain on the floor. In this circumstance the transmission cannot be shifted and i have had to pull to the side of the road. I have been able to physically pull out on the clutch pedal to return it to it's proper operating position. I was surprised to find, thru an internet search, that this is an ongoing problem with a number of porsche automobiles for at least the past three model years. This problem renders the car undriveable and can put the operator at risk. |
