    Clutch pedal interacting with brake pedal

    I haven't looked into it yet, but if I release the clutch pedal while trying to depress the brake pedal, sometime the two forces oppose each other and the brake pedal won't want to go down all the way. First time this happened I thought I was going to rear end the guy in front of me, but now I just keep clutch in while braking. Once stopped, I can release both.

    Common issue? Is there a faulty spring in there that can cause this? I'm wondering what i need to order prior to disassembly.

    Commonly a problem with worn out bushes as the two shafts are co-axial and bush wear allows the shafts move relative to each other and then the whole thing binds up.

    Pedal Boxes and Shifters are two of the most badly negelected areas on 911s.

    Time to re-bush the old pedal box. Cheap and quick fix for about $20 if you do it yourself.
    Make sure you have a replacement roll pin for the clutch pedal (I believe it's on that side).
