20070810POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:PEDAL/HAND LEVER(MOTORCYCLE)
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. *TR
