2000 porsche 911 recently repaired clutch because i thought it was slipping. I would ride the clutch to put car away in garage with steep driveway. I have put 2000 km on since repair, now it appears to be the same as before the repair was done? any ideas
ThanksUnsure

I guess I did, but I am thinking that my driveway is only 25 feet long, when I try to drive aggressively the motor reving high and dumping the clutch the clutch appears to slip, maybe the rear engine and wide tires create enough traction that the tires will not spin, but if that the case I would expect to accelerate much quicker. Could be lack of driver skill...

Maybe the ASR (anti slip control) system is activating, if equipped.

The engine has more than enough power to melt the tires, but if the system is enabled, it won't spin.



Function

Driving-stability control:
If Traction Control (TC) detects that a certain speed difference between the wheels has been exceeded (wheel spin), engine power is automatically reduced.

Brake control:
In addition to reducing the engine power (driving stability control), the TC (via the ABD) brakes the drive wheel that is spinning.
Since this control requires the drive wheels to be individually controlled, the ABS/TC system is a 4-channel system.

Switching off driving stability control*
Press the "TC OFF" logo of the rocker switch. Driving-stability control cannot be switched off during a TC control process (information light on).
One-sided wheel spin on the drive axle is further prevented by brake control up to a speed of 100 km/h.
Driving stability is not monitored, since the drive wheels can spin at the same rpm (slip).
With driving stability control switched off, the TC warning light in the instrument panel and the indicator light in the rocker switch are lit.
It can be advantageous to switch off driving stability control:
^ on a loose surface and in deep snow
^ when "rocking" the vehicle free
^ when using snow chains.

Switching driving stability control back on*

Press the indicator light in the rocker switch.*

Driving stability control cannot be switched on again during a TC control process (information light on).

* Press the switch for at least 0.1 second. Then a further 0.3 second will pass until the routine is complete. Only then is driving stability control switched off or on.

Now watch. Since I put that information in the previous post, the OP is going to go out side and find the button to turn it off. Then he is going to leave two burn out marks up his driveway and his wife is going to be pissed.Sly

Smile - riding the clutch is a no-no for about any reason unless you like the smell of "eau-de-asbestos" fragrance (wife might like) and loss of more bucks which she wont!
