Question for 6-MT Owners about clutch click

Damasconian · 12-12-2014, 08:37 AM

When depressing the clutch, does anyone feel a small click or notch about 60% down? I feel it sometimes when releasing the clutch as well. Trying to figure out if this is normal or not.

The only reason its a concern is because I feel it sometimes, but not others. Could just be the clutch releasing, but I'm not sure if we are supposed to be feeling that. Its not very noticeable, but if you look for it you cant miss it.

This is my first BMW manual so maybe I just need to get used to this type of feel. Look forward to asking some fellow 6-MT owners at the BMWCCA meet tomorrow.

Thanks. I definitely will want to feel the pedal to see if I'm feeling the same thing. Should be out there by 9:30 or so.

It might be some play in the pedal mechanism ... I doubt it has anything to do with the actual clutch.

Nope. Smooth as butter. You might wanna get it checked.

I definitely DO feel that exact thing on mine but only on Sport Plus. It's a vibration that is definitely been put there on purpose for reason and I thought it was a kind of rev match or a rev sync of some kind. But I'm not so sure.
