my Porsche 911 992 (2019-Present) has a hard clutch pedal, what does that mean?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
• Disconnect the battery to avoid electrical issues while working on the hydraulic system.

2. Inspect and Replace Hydraulic Components

  • Open the clutch fluid reservoir cap.
  • If the fluid is low, top it off with the recommended hydraulic fluid (Porsche Hydraulic Fluid).

• Check for Leaks:

  • Inspect all hydraulic lines and connections for signs of leaks.
  • Replace any damaged or leaking hoses with OEM parts.

• Replace Clutch Master Cylinder:

  • Remove the master cylinder by disconnecting the fluid line and mounting bolts.
  • Install the new master cylinder and reconnect the fluid line, ensuring it is tight.
  • Bleed the clutch system to remove any air pockets.

3. Inspect and Replace Clutch Slave Cylinder

• Access Slave Cylinder:

  • If necessary, remove any components obstructing access to the slave cylinder.

• Replace Slave Cylinder:

  • Disconnect the hydraulic line from the slave cylinder and remove the mounting bolts.
  • Install a new slave cylinder and reconnect the hydraulic line, ensuring no leaks.
  • Bleed the system again to ensure proper function.

4. Clutch Pedal Assembly Inspection

• Visual Inspection:

  • Check for any obstructions or broken components in the pedal assembly.

• Lubrication:
