Important Note:
The Dual Mass Flywheel can be diagnosed with the engine and transmission installed in the vehicle through cut-outs in the transmission clutch housing.
2. If any complaints of knocking from the flywheel area during starting exist, they must be addressed with the Porsche District Service Manager prior to repairing the vehicle.
3. Clutch Repair. It is important during repairs that only the defective component of the Dual Mass Flywheel be replaced. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Vol. 1, page 13-38a through 13-38f.
4. Clutch pedal activation force. After driving over a length of time, the clutch pedal force will increase. This is due to a reduction in the thickness of the clutch disc material and is considered normal. Vehicles with low mileage which exhibit a hard clutch pedal may have been subjected to excessive slipping of the clutch.
To ensure correct pedal adjustment, refer to Technical Bulletin Group 3, Number 9202, for clutch pedal checking and adjustment procedures.
