Important notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2005 Porsche 911, 2004 Porsche 911, 2003 Porsche 911, 2002 Porsche 911, and 2001 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The description below applies to left-hand drive vehicles with manual transmission or Tiptronic. On Tiptronic vehicles, start removal with No. 7 (stop light switch/area B). Pedal bearing axle (No. 13) is shorter because there is no clutch pedal lever. Refer to Fig 1 .

On right-hand drive vehicles, the clutch pedal lever is located directly next to the brake pedal (separated by the steering outer tube in the case of left-hand drive vehicles).

Assembly/disassembly for right-hand drive vehicles is similar to the procedure for left-hand drive vehicles.

Before the start of disassembly work on the pedals, the clutch boost spring must be fixed with a cotter pin (arrow at No. 5, Fig 1 ) in the case of vehicles with manual transmission.

Important: secure the cotter pin (bend it over).
