So this tends to be kinda common, n not just in the e46's. And I was sure everytime I had depressed the clutch enough, that's what I thought the 1st couple times it happened. But than again I could be wrong and I didn't have deopressed enough while shifting. I hope that is what it is. I never had it happen with the clutch that I got with the car. Only with the new clutch and just last couple weeks. Its been in for about month n a bit now.

Least used aint to badly priced.

And besides selling is no were near a possiblitly I took a loan out to get it. Its mine till I pay off the loan in 4 years lol.

I'm pretty sure it's not the tranny, it's just not depressing the clutch enough. Happened to me 3 times so far in 6 months and only when i'm hammering from 1st to 2nd. It hurts when it snaps =\ People on e46fanatics have experienced this as well.

Happened to me twice when I first got the car, I popped off the clutch too quick in a hard 1->2 shift and I wasn't fully used to the car. Never happened since then though.

stock clutch?

Porter86 · 08-01-2009, 12:50 AM

No, umm carbon fibre one? Does that sound right for a clutch? Lol. I don't remember I'd have to ask rob from aurto evo which one it was again. The two options he gave me was stock or this one for 1xx$ more.
