Clutch/DMF Judder

k31ron · 01-30-2015, 06:20 AM

Hi all,

My 330D manual acts a little oddly when using the clutch.

when cold all is fine but as it warms up (30+ mins driving) when I release the clutch after changing gear it tends to judder as it engages. no slip but its really annoying

I've had blown clutches before and they where worse when cold and ok when hot so not sure its that.

I have an almost worthless AA warranty on it which wont cover friction materials so was trying to establish if this could be DMF instead of clutch .. .or something completely different. if i ring the AA and say clutch judder they will instantly say not covered...if i say DMF then its less clear.

any thoughts?

My 330d Manual clutch was fine but the DMF had worn bad so go it changed.

Half press the clutch down, if you get a rattling sound it's on its way out. Some people say carry on driving till it gets really bad. I left mine for 15k until. Probably a little too long!
