Cluch Slip / Slurry on the up changes

[Mark CSL]

Ok lads here is what to do.
Go in to bmw if under warranty:thumbs:

Tell them the problem and ask them to fix it they will ask you to autherise them to take the clutch out about 3 hours if the clutch is above 1.1mm then its good and they will replace it free under warranty.

My CSL had done 52000 miles and was not under 1.1mm they come with 2.0mm new i got a new clutch and flywheel as it was blue with the slip

The clutch adaptor cant take all the little changes up thats when you get clutch slip / slurry.

I know of about 8 cars that have done this and all get new clutch and flywheel under warranty

Problem solved :thumbs:

So new they are 2.0mm from new and it needs to be 1.1mm or above for them to replace it?

If it is below 1.1mm then will they try and charge you for it?:smt017

Might take the car to the dealer then when the weather gets a bit better and try to get a new clutch. Only done 27K so hopefully they will replace it:thumbs:

I want to try this under warranty,as the slur has now come back,sometimes its ok.My CSL is now on 60k,what state will the clutch be in,do i risk it being under 1.1,most of the time it shifts as is should,so i think the clutch is fine,dont know what to do.:bigcry:

There's actually 3 adaptation settings for the SMG clutch alone.

The first is a clutch curve reset (done with the car off)
The second is clutch take up point reset (done with the car off)
the last and most important is the clutch slip reinitialisations (done with the car on)

Personally I think the last re-adaptation makes the biggest difference to the way the clutch behaves (I reset each separately on mine to see what the difference was and it was only on the last re-adaptation that I really noticed a difference). This last re-adaptation change the tolerance given for clutch slip and takes into account wear and the SAC (Self Adjusting Clutch pressure plate) self adjustments.

My clutch is really new however and even that makes a difference to the way it would engage (most noticeable on take off and initial engagement).

I didn't have any slur as such, but did notice a slight slip on intial engagement - it was only upon the last re-adaptation that this cleared completely.

I am making it a habit now to re-adapt the clutch setting on a regular basis and hopefully this will prolong my clutch (theoratically it should) - we shall see!!

Booked into Murketts,and try to get a new clutch under warranty,cars on 62k now,fingers crossed.

They have agreed to change mine again after this time 25k miles. Not car warranty but parts warranty from first clutch change less than 2 years ago.

Andy is doing an oil service, smg spring and vanos filter whilst I'm there.

Is that because the smg spring is broken Shim,or just in case.
