Good evening. would welcome some guidance on a possible Clutch problem.
2007 Boxster S manual with 58k on the clock. Went on a 15 mile drive to an event earlier today. On the return trip an hour later - so engine still warm - I noticed it became more difficult to change gear. No crashing of gears but definitely more effort required when changing into a new gear Whereas previously, changes were fairly slick and needed little effort.
My immediate thought was perhaps the Clutch is on the way out but the clutch pedal hasn’t stiffened which I’ve read is the most obvious symptom. Also, no clutch slipping as far as I can tell. However, based on mileage I’m assuming I’m probably due a new clutch.
Has anyone had any similar experience or symptoms that might be able to suggest what the problem could be ?
