The battery should have been tested under the CPO. I would try to get them to replace it on their dime. It has a mfr. date on it. If the life is close to the projected battery life (i.e. 48 month battery, etc.), it won't last much longer. Can you use a battery tender? I swear by them.
The real issue for replacing the clutch is... is it slipping? When you accelerate, does the engine rev. with a delay in the car movement? You can feel/hear it slip. If not, the guy is full of it. 33K miles is not a lot of clutch miles for an experienced manual driver. Get a 2nd opinion.
On the stiffness issue, is it difficult for you to push and hold the clutch in? That is the stiffness test for your driving pleasure. That would definitely been an item checked on a CPO. Hopefully, others will chime in on this. Other than a brake and clutch hydraulic bleed, I don't think that there is an adjustment for the pedal pressure.
It seem like this guy make be trying to make warranty work or out of pocket work on you.
Update... the Service Manager called me back this morning... Meredith in Atlanta - Tuesday, 11 March, 2014, at 1:33:10 pm |

FWIW, my experience is the battery is not covered by the CPO warranty.... MarcW - Tuesday, 11 March, 2014, at 1:59:47 pm |

Meredith in Atlanta
Bought this car CPO in November. CPO good through 2016. Saturday, Charley and I were at the dry cleaner, came back to the car after 10 minutes (max) and the battery is dead. Called Roadside Assistance who jumped us, then we took the car up to Jim Ellis for service. I've put no more than 2500 miles on the car since I got it in November.
2 days later (this evening) service guy calls and says that there's a problem with the clutch being "stiff" and that they're going to take it apart tomorrow. If it is "normal wear and tear" they will charge me, otherwise we'll discuss. Wouldn't a check of the clutch be included in a CPO inspection? Is it possible that this guy is bullshitting me? I told him I've been driving a manual for almost 14 years (including track) and can't imagine how he thinks it was something I did. Car has total 33,800 miles on it.
I'd love your opinions/feedback.... Thanks in advance. I have a really bad feeling about my discussion with this guy.

Good deal but what a hassle. *NM* Rey - Thursday, 13 March, 2014, at 11:27:59 am |
Saving $1700 was worth the hassle. I think I need to go buy some new shoes now! *NM* Meredith in Atlanta - Thursday, 13 March, 2014, at 11:40:29 am |

I wouldn;t trust them again.
I was wondering the same thing - also wondering what the new clutch will feel like! *NM* Meredith in Atlanta - Thursday, 13 March, 2014, at 1:51:43 pm |
Clutch will definitely feel different with the new shoes. *NM* Guenter in Ontario - Thursday, 13 March, 2014, at 2:01:19 pm |

..costs around $700-800 for the sachs sport kit, about as good as you will get for the street. I just bought one.
Includes Clutch, Pressure plate, throw-out bearing
Labor? Maybe 5 hours max. 90 minutes tranny out, another 90 minutes tranny in, work, set-up, clean-up.
700+6 ($100) = $1300+ Maybe i'm light, not much.

I would also write PCNA and ask whether a CPO car has its clutch checked. You have a right to expect a fiarly thorough examination given the additional cost.
They said there was no way to really "measure" the clutch to see if there are problems with it... Meredith in Atlanta - Thursday, 13 March, 2014, at 3:14:47 pm |

Can't the independent shop make a warranty claim? Boxsterra - Friday, 14 March, 2014, at 1:29:01 pm |

Problem with most independent shops is they don't have the computer systems that are up-to-date. I used one for an oil change on one of my previous boxsters and while I saved $$, they weren't able to update my OBC to indicate it was done...Quote

In any case, work done by an independent shop definitely doesn't void your warranty.
Actually, many do - all of my indies have full PST2 systems grant - Saturday, 15 March, 2014, at 1:27:15 pm |
