I find that in sport mode u have to shift quicker for it to be smoother from 1-2. In sport+ mode u would have to shift slightly quicker than sport. A way to feel out the clutch and the shift points is to turn DSC OFF and u will notice it doesn't rev match on the upshift for you. Then you can go back to your sport modes and u will feel the difference to improve better shifting.

I've found two areas for improvement in my M2's shifting action after a year of driving it: long pedal throw and unpredictable clutch engagement point. (But the effort required is quite low. Easier than the S2000.) I'll be taking care of the first problem by installing an Ultimate Clutch Pedal in the next few days. The UCP replaces the stock plastic clutch pedal and arm and has adjustable over-center spring settings. It lowers the resting pedal height by 15mm and also includes a taller bump-stop. May or may not be able to improve the clutch engagement point accuracy, depending on whether or not there is a Lock Valve, aka "Clutch Delay Valve" in the system. If there is a CDV, then I'll replace it with a ported one. If not, then I'll just have to live with the imprecise engagement point.

The net effect is incredible. The shop set the UCP at the shortest travel setting and "stock" effort, so its resting height is just slightly below that of the brake pedal. Effort is still a little lighter than my '00 S2000. It took a day to get used to the much lower engagement point and less delay. But the ridiculously long throw is gone and the part itself is very solidly made. Extremely happy with the UCP.

The M2 shifting experience is materially improved by the UCP and a good SSK. |

huh? Comfort or sport doesn't change the clutch pedal feel.

We are talking about the spring selection on the UCP. You can select a spring that mimics stock, or a spring that is stiffer (Sport), or a spring that is even stiffer (Race). Nothing to do with driving modes on the M2.

Just installed the UCP and Rogue SSK and got back from an hour drive. This is definitely "materially" improved! Had a smile on my face the entire time. My main initial concerns were the shift feel, stock boot length, and the pedal engagement. Shift feel is excellent; very similar to a stock S2000 (since it was mentioned above), but there is more of a noticeble/satisfying direct slot engagement versus a gradual input. The height is a little bit lower than stock (I'm still using the stock knob since I'm not too keen on the M Performance one). Sorry for the shaky cam - didn't realize I wasn't pointing at it fully! The stock M2 boot fits the RE SSK, it is just taut on 3rd and 5th. The UCP is also an excellent upgrade. While I still don't feel the clutch "bite", the pedal travel is so short that it doesn't really matter. |
