914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Idle speed drops when clutch engaged

Posted by: David Mueller Jun 25 2005, 04:23 PM

Really weird things going on. Car idles just fine when sitting but as soon as I engage the clutch even if I'm in neutral then the idle drops down. Does anybody have any ideas ?

This is a total WAG, but might it be a throw-out bearing that's gotten stiff causing a rotational load on the pressure plate? Can't think of anything else off hand that would cause such a condition.

Edit: I noticed down the page a bit a post with a similar condition, it appears that his arm was rubbing the pressure plate....well, it's something else to check at least.

Clutch tube loose in tunnel and cables hitting each other?
