I have to push my clutch pedal harder and harder to start the car. I'm told the switch fails, and messing with alignment, unless obviously moved, is not productive.
Any tip on access etc., and, what is the p/n so I can order one?
TIA,
Grant
The part # I don't recall. And the part # could be different if Porsche has upgraded the switch. I just picked up a replacement at the dealer parts counter. The switch wasn't expensive. If you replace the clutch interlock switch you probably should replace the brake light switch and the cruise control disengagment switches at the clutch and brake pedal as well. They all see about the same number of operational cycles even if you don't have cruise control on all that often.
The parts drawing at this link might be of some help.

The only access tip I can offer is take about 30 years or more of age off. I replaced the brake light switch myself. What a pain in the neck, back, shoulders, legs, arms, everywhere. Afterwards I hurt in places I didn't know I had places.
Then I learned switches, bulbs, air filters, even the inside rear view mirror, the service department replaces at no charge as long as I buy the parts there at the dealer parts department. So after the brake light switch replacement when the other switches needed replacement I just made arrangements with the SM to have a tech replace the switches. Took the tech just a minute or two. The techs do this all the time and they know any tricks or gotchas.
