That's honesty what I thought. But when I added the extended maintenance plan when I bought the car I specifically asked if the clutch was covered and they said yes one clutch replacement is covered. Again this is through the extended maintenance package not the drivetrain warranty. So hell I'll give it a try and if I do not succeed I'll just go aftermarket. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

Pretty much the best thread I've read all month

Big Tom · 11-24-2011, 12:53 PM

Flooring it in 6th gear @ 70 mph with FBO + meth is a big NO NO.

Wedge1967 · 11-24-2011, 12:54 PM

You know, I have to thank Shiv

because reading all the posts of how my MT6 car just can't handle putting down all of the power is almost bitter sweet. Most of you have talked shit about us AT6 drivers who don't know what gear we are in, but today with all the torque it really just doesn't matter... Haha... We can put down the torque when ever we want...

I just hope my converter holds up to the abuse... Only time will tell.. But until then, you all can watch me pull away as you baby your slipping clutches... Hahahaha

TMR · 11-24-2011, 01:07 PM

Damn Vishnu for making a 335i easily pull my M3 !!!

In that case I'm not surprised that your clutch is slipping.

onebadmofo · 11-24-2011, 01:25 PM

Well I'm kinda glad that the clutch went now. Car is about to undergo a massive upgrade (m3 suspension, LSD, RB turbos) so I'll just throw the clutch in there as well.

That's a new feature its called the slingshot

caliguy562 · 11-24-2011, 03:33 PM

Why is it bad to use meth in 6th? I ask because I believe the other tune actually disables their meth system in 6th gear.

OP, be careful with these sarcastic powers of yours.

Lol on the sarcasm .... Nice work!

Looks like we may have a group buy potential.... Mine may be having troubles or showing some signs

Couldn't be us could it? (hint: sarcasm)

It would only be to reduce torque. But there are other ways to reduce torque (ie, just dropping boost/timing). I don't think it makes sense to disable meth.

If you're going rb turbos, an upgraded clutch is a must. Only reason I'm not running upgraded turbos is the fact it costs 4k to rebuild a 6AT for the increased power output.

I mean, yeah I can get away with it but I'd be on serious borrowed time.

Eh, not smart to load the motor in a high gear. The N54 is a strong motor but on other similar platforms (MS3 comes to mind) the motors will pop when put under load in a high gear.

I tend to be in the lowest possible gear before going WOT though, it's about as routine to me as breathing is.
