Clutch Slur

[Bounce]

Hi guys,bin having trouble with the old clutch slur issue since i got the CSL,being on 60k i thought the clutch may be on the way out.But after driving in S5 and giving it some welly,then in S1 for a couple of days,i went out for a blast tonight on the dry roads[for a change]and its gone,and pulling like a train.So thanks for the tips on how to sort it guys.WHEN and if the slur returnes ill get the warranty to have a look,now i know the clutch is not fooked.The previous owner said he used to lift on changes,which is a big no no in my book.:thumbs:

What is clutch slur? I've pretty much left it in S5 since buying the car, maybe I need to change it about a bit, sometimes the changes seems to drop the revs, and I dont think the clutch needs replacing. Well, hope not..

Under acceleration on a wide-open throttle do some short-shifts at around 4-6k RPM and you could well experience it. You'll feel / hear the wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-oh hang on there's the gear fully engaged.

It's the single most irritating thing about the CSL and something they (BMW) have never addressed.

It does come and go depending on driving style and I think it can also be gotten rid of by clearing the error logs down (worked on mine a few months back).

When mine does it (frequently) it makes me want to get out and smash it up with a massive laser axe through the bonnet. Infuriating!

Maybe I've just been lucky but I have not yet experienced clutch slur in almost 2 years of ownership. The closest I get to it are the lengthened gear changes that you get when I try 'S1' on a rare occasion.

FYI, I never lift when giving it the beans & my car was a late build which had a replacement clutch some time before I bought it.

Or maybe you dont go over 4k revs.

my first clutch was changed due to slur

it is when the car is under heavy load when changing gear

If you time it right a slight lift on upchanges is quicker than a full throttle shift.

Seemed to work for me in the CSL Cup races

With a little help from your aero package

John, do you run updated clutch and flywheel in your Cup car last year?
