As I said before, I also think there is a difference between an F-Series M car and an F-Series non-M car. There was absolutely no slipping with my M2 with the CDV in place, and I could easily get the wheels to chirrup changing 1st to 2nd. Although now I've done it, I'd class this mod as a 'must have / do', there must be a reason that hardly anyone complained or found a solution until relatively recently...

Wow, I was wondering what was going on. The revs drop SO quickly no matter what i did and I could not figure out what I was doing wrong. Ive had 8 manual transmission cars back to back over the past 20 years(most not fancy) and I was beginning to wonder why I could not consistently shift this car smoothly. This feels more pronounced than on the e90 m3 but it could be my imagination.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this up.
This utter POS CDV makes normal driving with the 6MT needlessly jerky and clunky. I've been driving manuals for three decades now and this is by far the most difficult manual to drive smoothly. The CDV really makes you have to think about clutch modulation and it can make the catch point move around a bit. It's as if BMW intentionally added this device to push people towards buying automatics. I've owned this car for 3.5 years now and it is by far my biggest complaint with my M235 6MT (same tranny as the M2). The intended purpose of the CDV is to reduce hard shift shock and drivetrain damage on hard shifts. Oddly, when driven in anger, I find that the 6MT is exceptional. I can slam gears hard with a nice firm and direct shift and engagement. I can tell the clutch is robust and sometimes a strong clutch can make engagement difficult, but the CDV is the main culprit for the issues I have. I've learned that the smoothest way to shift is to delay the 1-2 and 2-3 until ~3,500rpms. Shifting earlier than that makes it difficult to execute smoothly. Shifts 3-4 and above aren't a problem. The CDV delete is high on my list. I do worry about the bleeding though. Seems like a pain.

Man, I knew something was weird with the clutch release on this car. Makes total sense now!

Great write-up, although I'm still not sure how to remove the CDV itself from the slave, I may be a spare slave so that I can do it all on the bench and take my time...
Thanks for the effort!

Just did this mod, although by swapping in an E90 slave cylinder, not disassembling the stock slave. Good mod. The release point is now predictable and comes at exactly the same part of the stroke every time, in every gear, at every rpm.
At first, the clutch felt very soft for the first inch of the stroke, like stock, then firmed up, so it was sort of a two stage process. But pretty quickly that effect seems to have worn off. So now, with that CDV out of the picture, a UCP and a SSK, things feel like they should have felt from the beginning, IMO. |

I'm thinking about doing this in the fall but the bleeding part has me worried, I'm pretty sure I could do it by pumping twice and refilling but it seems like a huge PITA.

My shop did it. I hesitated on the DIY option for exactly this reason. Shop used a power bleeder. Of course, the same thing happened (clutch too light at top of the stroke) that DIY guys reported, but as I said after driving it awhile now that seems to have gone away....

Yup, these are the three must do mods for any manual owner in my opinion.

Sorry to revive this thread but just to confirm all I need for my OG F87 M2 LCI is the E90 Slave cylinder: P/N = 21526785964?
It would seem that this part is shared within many other BMWs:

Just had this clutch slave swap done today by a shop and had the install of the stainless brake lines at the same time. The bolts for the slave were rather kinda long so they were at it for a while, removing and installing. The top bolt took the longest time since it was blind. Can't even see it. The reconnection of the hydro line was easy enough and must have lost 3 drops at most. The part that took the longest was bleeding the clutch slave. They used a schwaben pressure bleeder @ 20 psi and nothing was coming out of the bleeder for some reason. We did it the old fashion way of pumping the clutch and opening but barely anything was coming out. Apparently you really need to give the bleeder screw a few turns before it starts to release, unlike the brakes which takes just a turn or so. The fluid that came out the clutch slave were VERY dark. Not even close to the fluid that came off the brake calipers. Like doubly dark. Anyways after doing it using the pressure bleeder I thought all is well until I tested and the pedal just stayed at the bottom. We had to pump the pedal once again the traditional way. Finally after a few cycles, it firmed up again. Got me worried as the shop was about to close.
I still have no clue why it was like that coz everything I've read was that this was pretty straight forward. I got home fine so I guess the clutch was working fine. As for the feel, not sure I would call it night & day. Myb the M2 OG wasn’t as restricted in the first place or I expected too much. Tomorrow morning I’ll take a photo of the original. Myb even measure the hole. UPDATE: This morning i was going to take it out and no pressure on the clutch pedal. Back to the shop. Last edited by vrooooom; 07-17-2021 at 11:15 PM.. |

Sharing this thread here since I believe this is more informative in terms of how to get the clutch slave done properly. A lot of experience and time shared on this thread.
