Clutch pedal release not smooth?
2017, 5700 miles, MT.
I have started noticing that when releasing the clutch pedal, there is a noticeable "click" feeling at the top of the throw which is probably where it engages/disengages. I can feel it in my foot, not the shift knob. I can replicate it while at a stop and just engaging / disengaging the clutch. I also notice a little more vibration in the pedal when shifting at higher RPMs. Does anyone else have this feeling? Or is the pedal butter smooth with no clunks/clicks/vibrations. I can't hear it, I just feel it - it's not smooth at that engagement point. No grinding either. The vibrations might be normal at higher RPMs - seems to come and go. I haven't driven the car for a while so it might just be my mind messing with me. I don't think it's always been there because it's so noticeable now, but maybe it always was. Can anyone else feel the engagement point? Thanks! |

^ Same here. 5000 miles MT. It's really hard to shift smooth at higher RPMs. Also I have been noticing a hesitant shake when I down shift from 3rd to second... frustrating...........
There is that feeling on top of the throw of the clutch pedal it feels like somethings is there |

I have no model specific advice, but problems like this one typically involve one (or more) of the following: (1) pressure plate springs (including the throwout bearing/spring finger interface); (2) clutch fork interfaces to throwout bearing, the "pin" and to the slave cylinder piston; and finally (3) the "guide bush" as BMW calls it which is the tube on the nose of the transmission that the throwout bearing rides on.

I took it to the dealer and of course they couldn't notice anything, but at least it's documented. It definitely goes away after driving the car for a while and everything is really heated up. I typically don't drive it far and it's been cold each time I have noticed it more. After driving for an hour it seems to be smooth. I really do think this is something in/near the throw out bearing. No resolution yet...

HOPE ITS NOT A SLAVE thing.....that is one problem on the early G an Z Cars.
If you just drive for a bit its ok.....but on long drive wen car warms up....pedal start to stick an you gotta lift pedal up with your foot.

I also have a click feeling on my clutch, it's up high nowhere near the engagement, no clutch stop. Doesn't seem serious, no sticking but bothers me a bit. I will be taking it in for break-in service this week and will ask them to check it out.

I have the click on engaging the clutch pedal. It's been there for a few months. Dealer today said not normal and is replacing. They ordered parts and will get done later this week. I'll post a pic of the part that is making it once they pull it out again.
It's something with the bushing/spring on the pedal, not an issue with clutch/bearing or anything serious.

Having the same problem. Not as smooth and feeling a bit gritty. Everything working well but a bit annoying. Will probably take it in for them to check it over. |
