Clutch Slur and in at Elms

[cps]

Hello,
bit of advise and help needed. So my CSL is in at Elms. I have a warranty. I have clutch slur. We did a road test. They have updated software which I paid for. Clutch slur still present. :bigcry:

They have said that I need to pay for them to drop the gear box down ( £645) and if it need a new clutch pay etc. Fair if I have worn parts, but I'm just a bit concerned this might not fix the slur, and where this might end a paid " guessing. I've read the warranty book about what is covered etc. I have read the post from NZm3 on the GT1, although when I mentioned this they said "hard to interpret clutch where from readouts.

Does this seem reasonable to pay for the box drop and should I ask anything specific in proceeding in your experienced group view.

Service has been very pleasant so far there, nice courtesy car etc

thanks

Chris

Gearbox will need to be dropped, may as well change clutch while you are there.

Replace parts 1,2 and 3 in this diagram. Its what the clutch release bearing slides on, it becomes scored and rough and the bearing no longer slides smoothly leading to the clutch dragging or slurring...

This part should be replaced each time the clutch is replaced!

Make sure to replace the bearing as well, should come with the new clutch kit.

Then follow NZ's description. On resetting clutch values/ curve etc.

I did the same thing a few years back,Csl was on 60k miles,clutch was good for another 60k miles,Warranty then paid for the whole lot including New flywheel and it's not slurred since.

Does anyone have a video showing a clutch slurring or can (clearly) describe what a non-slurring vs a slurring clutch is like?

They have to cover themselves but the clutch bearings normally go 1st and that's how they get it on a warranty claim, they change clutch , flywheel as a matter of course.

They did on mine and most others I know of.

If it's deffo slurring I would take the risk and ask them to strip

Hi All thanks, So I have asked them to drop the box, and am waiting to hear. I asked about the procedure of the GT1, but they didn't seem to know/be keen on that?

That other link is great, so hoping to speak to them tomorrow.

The clutch slur was most noticeable say in 5th at about 65 ( 70) when you flick the left paddle coming out of auto and hit the throttle, then you could see the rev needle raise, .. then drop then, rise in line with acceleration.

I have had it about 18 months. I don't drive it much or track it. We gave it a good go with Dan from Elms's and shifting up and down the box he could see and hear, mine seems to change gear as if it's a soft close kitchen cupboard, the last bit of travel seems very soft. On my old M3 smg, the change used to smack you in the back and you had to lift off. Perhaps that's why the chassis has not needed doing in this one.. although it will at some point.

anyway many thanks for advise all.

keep you posted

Once you have it working,it will be even better than your old M3(I had one)just don't start lifting or it'll start happening again.

Hi, there is 52,685 on mine, it may have had a hard life, but i'm sorting things bit by bit, don't really know if it was tracked much etc, but the engine seems very strong drives very well, etc.
